Today is World AIDS Day!

Stigma and discrimination can be more harmful than HIV itself. What we say, how we act, and the care we provide can make a real difference to the health and wellbeing of people living with HIV.

From 37 weeks, you can hand express and collect colostrum – your baby’s first milk, rich in antibodies and great for digestion.

You don’t need to plan to breastfeed – all babies benefit. Ask your midwife for support.
