Promoting excellence in HIV and sexual healthcare

Tackling HIV testing in Primary Care

MEDFASH is producing an online tool to educate and support general practice in overcoming barriers to HIV testing. Its aim is to increase rates of testing and reduce late diagnosis.

The tool is being developed with expert advice from frontline primary care professionals, HIV specialists, public health specialists, commissioners and people living with HIV. When developed and evaluated, it will be available on the MEDFASH website. Watch out for our new ‘Testing in Practice (TIPs)’ pages later in 2013. 

This project is funded by the Department of Health’s Innovation, Excellence and Strategic Development Fund.
