It was our honour to be able to support this event as part of #LabourConference24
“We cannot fail” in our efforts to end new HIV cases, said the Health Secretary at our event with @LGBTLabour at #Lab24.
Thank you too all who joined us - and @Preventx and @GileadSciences for sponsoring.
Read @wesstreeting’s speech on his ambitions for the new HIV Action Plan.

“Our new HIV Action Plan will be a plan to get us back on track.”
Health Secretary @wesstreeting emphasises the government’s commitment to ending new HIV cases at our event at #Lab24
"Digital services are vital for the fight against sexually transmitted infections; they deliver scalable, cost-effective and impactful access for people, and providing crucial support for the NHS."

Great to see this! Thanks for all your work @BASHH_UK
Today, BASHH and the APPG for HIV and AIDS are hosting a 'Sexual Health 101' briefing event in Parliament to highlight BASHH's priorities for the new government.
President @Prof_Matt_P and other experts will raise awareness about the importance of sexual health services.
ALT Sexual Health and HIV: Four Priorities for for the New Government 1. Commit to the development of a new sexual health strategy for England. 2. Fully resource sexual health services so they can meet growing and changing needs and end health inequalities. 3. Ensure timely access to expertise for everyone with a need for sexual health provision. 4. Work with us to build a workforce in GUM that can meet population needs long into the future. Image includes the BASHH logo.
To reach zero HIV transmissions by 2030, equitable access to #HIV PrEP is essential. England’s first fully digital HIV #PrEP pathway in East Sussex is a major step forward. @vanessa_apea talks about the need for our new service in this @HSJnews article: hsj.co.uk/policy-and-regulat…
This guidance is excellent. This is what advice looks like. Great work @TheLoveTankCIC team. 👏
We understand current concerns about mpox. Please see our news page for our current position and advice.
Please note this is a changing situation and we’ll update accordingly.

Our Medical Director @vanessa_apea on London Live talking about data from @NHSEngland hepatitis C testing service, showing positivity rates were 3x higher for men, and 2x higher in millennials. HepC is curable, but early detection is key. Watch from 15:45 londonlive.co.uk/news/watch-…
We are delighted to have been able to support this outreach work raising awareness of STI testing at UK Black Pride.
A busy day at @ukblackpride yesterday.
Hundreds of MPOX and HPV vaccinations delivered with @AllEastNHS & @NHSHomerton
Urinal take-over with @SHLdotUK so folx can scan-as-they-pee & order an SHL STI kit to arrive this week - order at bp.shl.uk
We’re delighted the groundbreaking hepatitis C remote testing service is finalist in the Modernising Diagnostics category of @HSJ_Awards! 🏆
In partnership with Preventx, @NHSEngland and @HepatitisCTrust this service diagnoses people who might be missed otherwise.

East Sussex has become the first place in the UK to offer PrEP, which protects against infection of HIV, through remote services as part of a pilot.
NHS sexual health consultant Dr Vanessa Apea tells #R4Today that the pilot aims to 'expand access' to the drug.
Last Saturday, we joined our @SHLdotUK colleagues as part of the #PrideinLondon parade.
We were met with such gratitude for SHL and the work we do. It’s humbling to see how our work impacts the lives of so many people, and to show our support for the LGBTQ community. #Pride2024

Next up, my conference wife @kateebbutt discussing reducing single use plastic in STI home test kits @Preventx @SHLdotUK @BASHH_UK #BASHH2024
We’re delighted that sustainability is on the agenda for #BASHH2024
We’ve been working to make our own services more sustainable.
Today, we’ll be talking about our own experience of making changes to our online testing services to save over 10 tonnes of plastic waste a year.
