Emergency Room Testing Saves Lives, Boosts HIV Action Plan

Emergency room testing for HIV and hepatitis B/C has led to hundreds of diagnoses in the Midlands, potentially saving lives. The opt-out testing program, launched in various cities, has identified individuals previously undiagnosed or untreated. The initiative aims to find blood-borne viruses in those who might not otherwise seek testing. With World AIDS Day marking the announcement of a £170 million HIV Action Plan, the UK is committed to ending new HIV transmissions by 2030. DNN | The Daily News Now!
