European Testing Week

European Testing Week

From November 18 to 25, Estonia will host European Testing Week — an important event aimed at raising awareness about the importance of early diagnosis for HIV, hepatitis C, syphilis, tuberculosis. Early diagnosis allows for timely treatment and reduces the risk of transmitting the viruses to others.

Throughout the week, events will be organized in Estonia’s largest cities — Tallinn, Narva, Jõhvi, and Tartu — where everyone can receive a free self-testing kit for HIV.
