Watch: Can opt-out HIV tests help end new cases?

Over 3,500 previously undiagnosed cases of HIV, Hepatitis B, and Hepatitis C have been identified through opt-out testing pilots in the UK since April 2022.
The trials aimed to identify cases in people who are unlikely to get tested at a sexual health clinic.
Opt-out testing can lead to early diagnosis and save the NHS money in the long term.
