Canada’s only national community-based testing initiative to promote better sexual health outcomes for all populations.

International Testing Week is a Canada-wide event presented by the Canadian AIDS Society (CAS) and community that encourages all Canadians to go to participating testing sites in late November, get tested for HIV and other sexually transmitted and blood-borne infections (STBBI), and find out their HIV status. Want to #knowyourstatus? Find a testing site near you. This year, the dates for the International Testing Week will be from November 22nd to the 28th  2021.  CAS is joining forces with Coalition PLUS  for our newly branded International Testing Week.

Does your organization want to get involved in the International Testing Week? Please contact the Canadian AIDS Society at casinfo@cdnaids.ca.
