Get an HIV Test with GMI

Changes in HIV testing since COVID

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, GMI partners have enabled three options for you to get the test done. Our free testing service is available to all London residents.

Meet us in the venues

We are offering free HIV rapid tests in many locations across London. Find out where and when we are that is most convenient for you. You don’t need to book an appointment for this; just show up and talk to our staff. They will be able to test you and address any sexual health concerns you might have.

Need a little extra support with your home testing kit? We also provide one-to-one support to do your HIV/STI test at home.

  • SHL (London, apart from Croydon, Greenwich, and Hillingdon)
  • Croydon
  • Hillingdon (and Lambeth)
  • Greenwich (or Medway) – MSM / Non-MSM
• Once you received your kit, book an online consultation with us and one of our friendly team members will support you through the test virtually.

Testing in our offices

Currently, we are offering weekly face to face testing for MSM at our partner agencies’ offices (via booking). If you prefer a setting that’s more private but less clinical, please book an appointment to visit us in our office.

Please check our HIV testing events for more details.

Please do not attend any face to face services if you are having any cold or flu symptoms, or answer “yes” to any of the following questions.
