Keir Starmer took a public HIV test to destigmatize the testing process and promote HIV Testing Week, accompanied by singer Beverley Knight. He expressed surprise at being the first G7 leader to do so and emphasized the accessibility and convenience of testing. His aim is to encourage other leaders to participate, reflecting the hundreds of thousands living with HIV in the UK, including many unaware of their status. Starmer's pledge includes ending new HIV transmissions by 2030 and investing in expanded testing programs, underscoring the importance of awareness and treatment advancements.
Starmer stated, "It's really important to do it and I'm really pleased to be able to do it. It's very easy, very quick."
