HIV testing: increasing uptake among people who may have undiagnosed HIV

Recommendation ID: NG60/1
Question: Interventions to improve the acceptability and uptake of HIV testing among people at higher risk:- What interventions would be effective and cost effective among people at higher risk in the UK to increase uptake of HIV testing among people who may have undiagnosed HIV?
Any explanatory notes (if applicable): Why this is important:- Improving the acceptability of HIV testing and increasing the uptake of HIV testing will reduce the pool of undiagnosed infection, improve outcomes for those affected (because of earlier diagnosis) and reduce onward transmission, particularly in some high-risk populations. There is a lack of evidence among some groups in the UK, such as people in prison, trans women and people accessing services through community and outreach settings.
