Today is #WorldAIDSDay an important day to remember loved ones, and all of us to pledge a commitment to end stigma and end new transmissions of HIV @LGBTfdn @GMPaSH
Today, 1st December is #WorldAIDSDay.
In 2023, people living with HIV still face stigma and judgement despite almost one in every 600 people in the UK having a HIV-positive status and huge steps in the treatment and prevention of HIV having been made.

The brilliant @IJackson78 giving us a lowdown on opt out testing for HIV, HBV, HCV in England. He reminds us how important collaboration is as part of this! #fasttrackcities2023 #FTC2023
Aiming for zero HIV transmissions is great but ending stigma is important and critical too @LGBTfdn #HIV @FTC2023 @FastTrackCities
Great to be at #FastTrackCities so many amazing speakers and organisations doing brilliant work #FTC2023 @LGBTfdn

Hooray, #Amsterdam!!! – at Amsterdam, The Netherlands
NINE new #HIV infections in 2022! Is there any question why #FTC2023 is in the city of #Amsterdam this year. It is a proof of concept that both innovation and persistence can deliver results. Time to replicate, @FastTrackCities!

'Let's stop talking about risk - let's talk about concern, needs, preferences and keep it positive' - great message for everyone working in HIV and sexual health #FTC2023

Filled with pride listening to @ProfJAnderson tell an international audience at #FTC2023 about the ambitious #HIVConfident charter mark and Ambassadors programme.

NEW: Important these @MailOnline articles have been updated to remove the false claim three @IcelandFoods colleagues are HIV positive as a result of needle attacks.
Disappointing @icelandrichard won’t apologise for sharing a falsehood and how his company sought to weaponise HIV.

If you're considering whether our services may be for you, listen to Matthew's story.
Matthew accessed our services at a challenging time, and through our specialist LGBTQ+ support, has had the chance to transform his life for the better.

Our volunteers are the life-blood of the work we do. Without the support of the wider LGBTQ+ community we could not deliver our life-changing work.
Looking for a way to give back to your community or to support LGBTQ+ communities through active allyship?

Knowing the different effects of each drug is paramount to ensuring your safety.
Prioritize your well-being by staying informed, setting boundaries, and choosing consent-driven experiences.
