The Bishop of Stepney The Rt Revd Stephen Oliver visited Positive East on Tuesday 17th February 2009, challenged the stigma associated with HIV by taking a test himself.

"A Bishop taking an HIV test might seem strange, but I'm keen to show it's a simple process and to encourage others to come forward for testing. The HIV testing service at Positive East is very welcoming and the testing is free, fast and confidential" Bishop Stephen stated.
