Derby County Supports Saving Lives By Promoting HIV Testing

Derby County are supporting the national charity Saving Lives during National HIV Testing Week (NHTW).

National HIV Testing Week (NHTW) is a flagship campaign to promote regular testing for HIV and it aims to reduce the rates of undiagnosed people, and to make sure people get diagnosed early.

There are still over 10,000 people living with HIV in the UK who are unaware they are living with the virus and this means they can’t access today’s life-saving treatment.

Saving Lives and their charity ambassadors are working hard to make sure people get tested and get treated.

Derby County skipper and central defender Curtis Davies, pictured above, has helped show his support to help raise awareness.

Davies, 33, is a Saving Lives patron and commented: “Saving Lives is a good cause with a great message. I’m happy to help spread the word as best I can.”
