U K Prime Minster, Keir Starmer has urged other world leaders to take an HIV test, after becoming the first serving British prime minister and G7 leader to take a public test on camera.
His office on Monday released footage of the UK leader completing a rapid home test in Downing Street on Friday, in support of a week-long nationwide initiative to encourage HIV testing.
The UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) estimates 4,700 people are living with undiagnosed HIV in England, with increased testing a key part of the strategy to find them.
Recall Starmer in December committed his government to ending new HIV cases in England by 2030, with a new “HIV action plan” detailing how it will meet the target to be published later this year.
