Almost 40,000 people have benefited from routine blood tests that are saving lives at Salford Royal Hospital. Routine #HIV testing was introduced at our emergency department a year ago & is helping diagnose a condition that would otherwise have gone undetected. This is part of a national NHS initiative to test in the areas where prevalence of HIV is highest to ensure that people living with undiagnosed HIV are tested and offered treatment, which will improve health, save lives and prevent transmission of HIV. Between October 2023 and August 2024, more than 36,000 HIV tests have been carried out by NCA Pathology labs at Salford Royal, resulting in 10 people being diagnosed with HIV. #NHS #Health
