Everyone aged 16 and older who has their blood tested in the Blackpool Emergency Department (A&E) now has it tested for HIV, hepatitis B and hepatitis C.


It’s important to get diagnosed early as treatment is life-saving and free from the NHS.


Your results are confidential.


If you do not wish to be tested, please let a member of staff know.


Sometimes we are not able to test the blood we take from you due to a technical problem.
