World AIDS Day

Today, we unite to remember those we’ve lost to AIDS and to support those living with HIV. The UK is on a mission to become the first country to end new HIV cases by 2030. Here’s what we need to do:

• Expand HIV Testing: Make HIV and STI tests accessible at home and in all healthcare settings.

Increase PrEP Access: Ensure everyone who can benefit from PrEP can access it easily, including online.

• Support for All: Provide comprehensive support for those living with HIV to access care and live confidently.

• Combat Stigma: Implement training and awareness programs to eliminate HIV-related stigma in healthcare settings.

• National Leadership: NHS England and the Department for Health and Social Care must co-own the HIV Action Plan and appoint a dedicated HIV lead.

Together, we can achieve zero new HIV transmissions and ensure a healthy, stigma-free future for everyone. Let’s make it happen!
