HIV Tests To Be Offered In Slough Supermarket
HIV tests are to be offered to shoppers at a Tesco Extra supermarket in Slough.
The tests are to be offered by sexual health charity Thames Valley Positive Support (TVPS) in an effort to "normalise" testing.
The charity will launch its Time to Test scheme on Monday, with the project running on a weekly basis for six weeks.
The charity says that if the testing is successful it hopes to extend the scheme.
The charity say the test is a simple pin-prick, with the results back within sixty seconds.
