TESTING TIMES: Emma Rowell
TWO committed campaigners have “given HIV the finger” in a bid to encourage more people to get tested at home for the human immunodeficiency virus.
As part of a national HIV testing week, Chloe Walls, from Barnard Castle, and Emma Rowell, from Cotherstone, underwent a finger-prick HIV test in the comfort of their own homes to raise awareness of the need for testing.
Ms Walls said: “I’m the LGBT+ officer for the Bishop Auckland Constituency Labour Party and Emma is the women’s officer.
“We ordered the free tests and photographed ourselves taking them to show just how easy the process is.”
