Ealing Council will be hosting free HIV testing outside the town hall on Wednesday, rescheduled from last month as part of Fast-Track Cities. 

A pop-up bus from the council's health partners GMI Partnership will be outside the town hall from 10am to 3pm on Wednesday.

The HIV testing bus had been scheduled to visit Ealing on 12th December 2022, but due to the cold weather and snow it was cancelled.

Free tests will now be available from Fast-Track Cities and GMI Partnership once again on 4th January between 10am and 3pm. 

Tests take 15 minutes, are completely free of charge, and results are confidential. 

Fast-Track Cities were set up on World Aid's Day in 2014 to help end urban epidemics of HIV, HBV, HCV, and TB by 2030. 

The partnership involves over 400 cities, including London, and municipalities to help achieve the World Health Organisation's goal of eliminating HBV and HCV by 2030. 

GMI Partnership are a partnership across London established in 2008 to help improve sexual help, through HIV testing, condoms, lube, information, and advice.
