Undiagnosed HIV infection remains unacceptably high among gay and bisexual (GB) men: one in five GB men with HIV do not know they have it, and up to eight in ten new infections in this population are estimated to come from them.

National HIV Testing Week (NHTW) was developed and is managed nationally across England by Terrence Higgins Trust (THT) on behalf of HIV Prevention England (HPE), as part of the drive to reduce undiagnosed infection among various populations including GB men.
