It's estimated that around 107,000 people in the UK are living with HIV, with approximately 5,000 people undiagnosed. The number of people with HIV in the UK has also risen since 2021. HIV remains a major public health issue. This innovative, at home test kit increases accessibility to HIV diagnosis and services. Like all SH:24 tests it is free and ‘discreet’ – it arrives in an unmarked package and takes 15 minutes to complete. This speediness and discretion aims to encourage testing. When SH:24 launched they performed robust academic research on populations and risk factors as well as in depth audience research to understand what potential patients would want and need.
