This is such an important piece of work - really glad to see this out for consultation now. The focus on a more inclusive and accessible approach for PrEP is really welcome and a much-needed step towards HIV prevention for everyone
I’m pleased to say that the updated @BASHH_UK @BritishHIVAssoc guidelines on #PrEP are now out for consultation. Closing date is 26th November 👇🏽 bashh.org/resources/126/bhiv…

Also great to hear that Gov will review how data is collected and published to ensure it fully recognises and includes everyone living with HIV to give a true picture whether people are in care or not

Oasis reunion after 30 years - 1994 seems a long time ago. It was the year of the highest number of deaths from AIDS and HIV diagnoses in the UK. So much has changed. Someone living with HIV now on effective treatment should have same life expectancy and can’t pass it on.

But that won’t be the end. People living with HIV experience stigma & discrimination which @NAT_AIDS_Trust challenges every day. And the inequalities experienced by women & across communities is unacceptable. We can’t, and won’t, let that take another 30 years to put right

Local HIV support services are absolutely vital for people and communities. We need more funding and capacity, not less!!

Good to see @ProfYGilleece out there on this! 👏👏👏

Very glad that Manuel has finally been able to leave Qatar now after such a horrific ordeal. His lack of access to HIV medicine and appropriate tests during detention was completely unacceptable. We wish him all the best. bbc.com/news/articles/ce8152…

If we get the right commitments in the next HIV Action Plan we can end new transmissions by 2030. Help us by sharing your views and thoughts here surveymonkey.com/r/9BCWJWJ We want to know: what’s working, where more progress has to be made & what the priorities should be for 2030
We are working with @ejaf & @thtorguk to drive forward the goal to end new HIV cases: by hearing from people living with HIV, clinicians, public health experts, charities & all who wish to contribute to Govt's new HIV Action Plan from 2025 nat.org.uk/blog/how-can-new-…
