Testing for HIV is one of the cornerstones in fight against spread. The 2014 European Guideline on provides advice testing infection individuals aged 16 years and older who present to sexually transmitted infection, genito-urinary or dermato-venereology clinics across Europe.

Research suggests that an important mediating mechanism in this association internalised stigma, where PLWH accept negative societal views about HIV, apply them to themselves and develop a view of themselves.
