The U.K. government unveiled its HIV Action Plan 2025 to 2030 on World AIDS Day Monday, backed by 170 million pounds in funding, with the goal of ending new HIV transmissions in England by 2030 through improved prevention, testing and treatment services.

The plan includes continued funding for opt-out HIV testing in emergency departments during routine blood tests in areas with the highest rates, including London and Manchester, a program that has identified 102 people with HIV across Midlands hospitals since launch.

A £5 million ($6.6 million) trial will allow people to order home HIV testing kits through the NHS app, providing a discreet route for those anxious about their sexual health to get tested without visiting a clinic and receive results securely on their phone.

The government will launch a national re-engagement programme targeting around 5,000 people living with HIV who are no longer receiving care, often due to mental health issues, addiction, poverty or fear of judgement, to bring them back to treatment.

Hospital staff in trusts implementing the opt-out testing scheme will receive anti-stigma training to ensure patients can access care without fear of being judged for their HIV status, as stigma remains a barrier preventing some people from getting tested.

New analysis shows that while 95% of people with HIV are diagnosed, around 4,700 people remain undiagnosed, including one in three in Black African communities and higher rates of late diagnosis in older age groups, according to the U.K. Health Security Agency.

HIV diagnoses have surged to a 15-year high, driven overwhelmingly by migrants arriving from abroad — particularly from Africa — with over half of all new cases now originating outside England for the first time ever. Record migration levels are directly fueling this spike, threatening the 2030 goal to end transmissions and creating widening health inequalities that demand urgent action on border health screening and resource allocation.

The government's bold £170 million HIV action plan puts England on track to become the first country to end new transmissions by 2030 through innovative opt-out testing in emergency departments, home testing via the NHS App and targeted outreach to disengaged patients. Medical advances mean people with HIV now live full, healthy lives without transmitting the virus, making elimination achievable through smart investment in prevention and treatment rather than stigma and fear.
