SOMERSET County Council Public Health are urging people who may be at risk of HIV to walk in and have a test during National HIV Testing Week. There will be a walk-in HIV test in Chard on November 26. The test is free and confidential and carried out by specialist HIV staff from Taunton's Musgrove Park Hospital genitourinary medicine (GUM) clinic, in addition to their normal testing service and Terence Higgins Trust. There is no need to book an appointment and results will be given in twenty minutes. The test will be taking place at the Chard Tawstock Surgery in St Mary's Crescent from 1pm-5pm. There is more information on HIV at hivaware.org.uk or nhs.uk. Call 01823-344888 for more information about the event.
