HIV Testing | George House Trust

CHALLENGING STIGMA IN THE HAIR, BEAUTY AND BARBERING SECTOR 

 

At George House Trust we’re committed to challenging HIV stigma and discrimination.

 

That’s why, with funding from Manchester City Council, we undertook research about the experiences of people living with HIV when accessing hair, beauty, barbering and cosmetic procedures and treatments.

 

Below you'll find information about our research, the law and how it protects people living with HIV, what professional practitioners can do and why universal hygiene protocols are so important.

HIV testing has never been easier.  Service providers now offer HIV tests in clinical settings and a wide range of community locations at times that you are likely to find convenient.

 

EARLY DIAGNOSIS

Knowing your HIV status puts you in control of your health and means you can access the medical treatment and support you need to stay well.  With early diagnosis, treatment and healthcare, people living with HIV can expect a normal life expectancy.  You can only know your HIV status by taking a HIV test
