<p>We recognize the importance of HIV testing for improving early diagnosis and will
set out our plans for its wider access in the Sexual and Reproductive Health Strategy
and the HIV Action Plan, planned to be published this year.</p><p>Access to and provision
of HIV testing, including online and self-sampling services, is the responsibility
of local authorities. There is no comprehensive data available on the number of local
authorities that provide HIV self-sampling services. Public Health England’s framework
for the national HIV self-sampling service was set up in 2015 and is used by many
local authorities.</p>
