THT Launches New Campaign Encouraging Gay Men To 'THIVK - Test - Take Control

In a bid to reduce dangerous levels of undiagnosed HIV among gay men, Terrence Higgins Trust (THT) is launching a new campaign encouraging men to take control of their sexual health by regularly testing for HIV. The campaign "THIVK - Test - Take Control" will be run through a stand-alone website (http://www.thinkHIV.co.uk), adverts in gay press, posters, leaflets and condom packs, carrying the following messages: - "Treatments have never been so good. If you have HIV, the sooner you find out the better." - "Think HIV testing takes too long? Some clinics offer "rapid tests" with results in 20 minutes." - "You think you"re HIV negative? You might be wrong." The Health Protection Agency (HPA) estimates that, in the UK, up to 10,000 gay men have HIV without knowing - one in four men infected with the virus don"t know they have it. Despite this, around a third of gay men in England have never taken an HIV test, with the figure even higher in Scotland and Wales. Reasons men don"t test include not realising how much they"ve put themselves at risk, concern about the length of time they"ll have to wait for the result, and fear of getting a positive result. THT"s new campaign "THIVK - Test - Take Control" directly addresses these concerns, outlining why - if you have HIV - it"s vitally important it be diagnosed as early as possible. People diagnosed late (CD4 count Notes 1. Terrence Higgins Trust is the UK"s largest HIV and sexual health charity with centres across England, Scotland and Wales.
