Islington Council are pushing for young people to come forward and be tested as part of their campaign for HIV testing week. 9 of every 1,000 adult residents in Islington are living with HIV.
A number of events are being held reaching out to young people who may not have considered testing before.
Organisers are confident they can fight the increasing number of cases in the borough.
But some people are worried the council are overlooking the older generation, where late diagnosis has been taking place. The initiative continues into next week across Islington.
