I did one of these home tests a few years ago. Super easy, just a quick finger prick.
HIV is a treatable chronic illness, not a death sentence. And with modern treatment, it can't be passed on. So it just makes sense to get tested.

It’s National HIV Testing Week.

Testing is free and confidential. Early diagnosis means people can live long, healthy lives, and can’t pass HIV on.

You can get tested locally via the Oxfordshire Sexual Health Service or order a free home test vis

Let’s tackle stigma and make testing routine.

Prayers for a respectful and productive discussion. I hope you have something nice planned for afterwards because that's a long session and likely to be stressful.

nah, they come round every now and then to do a safety check, but the readings are either done monthly by the user, or (with modern "smart" meters) sent automagically back every 30 minutes.

So, people who know about the problem and wanted to share best practice?

We still have a "vestry", where the vestments are kept, and a "flower vestry", where all the flower arranging stuff is kept (and the kettles, because it has a sink).

Fair. I think rewley road only had 2-3 vehicles so they certainly didn't ask come from there

Fire engine!

North west England, British English, for engine. Makes a neenaw noise

maybe they left the gas on at the fire station?

This feels like an obvious "why not both? Both is good." Question

Cannot agree hard enough.

'This decision is a major setback for Sex Matters, which raised more than £65,000 to try and force the pond to ban trans people, trying to go against regular swimmers. More than 32,000 people said they wanted the ponds to remain trans inclusive – 86% of the respondents to the consultation'

The main reason I got titres rather than a second MMR series was that it was only one visit and they were already bleeding me. Otherwise I'd have probably just got jabbed again.

Well done! I got fully vacc'd for measles and rubella as a child but missed out on mumps. So I got a full MMR series as an adult (living in uni halls during a mumps outbreak). I nearly got a second series later as it wasn't recorded properly but I needed Hep B titres so I just got titres done.

you should definitely do fewer chores.

As a co-ordinator for two of these courses, I am biased, but I honestly think they are really good - and our student feedback shows that they do too. It's really great to be able to offer NHS staff a discount.

A quick reminder that we are offering a limited number of bursaries to current employees of the NHS on selected Evidence-Based Health Care Short courses, as part of our new NHS Short Course Bursary scheme.

Nigel Farage, has proposed a mass deportation plan called "Operation Restoring Justice," which includes creating a "UK Deportation Command" modelled on the U.S. ICE.

Don't vote Reform unless you want innocent blood on UK streets like we see in the USA.

A few days ago, I stood in the graveyard of an 1100 year old church, getting damper and damper in the drizzling rain.

A woman walked into the graveyard, waved, said hello, and, as we had previously arranged, handed me a paper bag full of human bones.

The life of a churchwarden is a strange one...

fucking HELL

I would love this thread. Can you also include the full/real names in the cases where that's different?

The Cardiff Lions do an annual Drag Rugby charity match for children’s charities and it’s as beautiful as you imagined

My socks are on fixed circs because interchangeable ones don't go low enough

I've just got to the point of asking "is it the knitting needles or the meds you need to check?" (each is packed in an identifiable sub-bag)
Usually it's the knitting needles. I always have a lifeline in case of seizure, but so far it's never been a problem, and I get to knit socks on the flight.
