The toolkit, developed in 2014, offers practical guidance for delivering effective HIV testing services to reduce late diagnoses and HIV transmission.

It emphasises collaboration between local authorities, NHS England, and Clinical Commissioning Groups, focusing on high-risk populations including men who have sex with men (MSM) and Black African communities. The toolkit highlights the importance of early diagnosis, evidence-based practices, and data-driven strategies to improve public health outcomes, reduce healthcare costs, and address inequalities in HIV care.
