We were proud to join everyone who braved the cold to demand this life-saving treatment.

Healthcare delays cost lives. NHS England must commission lenacapavir now.

Our pilot study shows community pharmacies are an acceptable setting for #PrEP awareness and referral. Pharmacists successfully initiating PrEP conversations & linking people to remote prescribing. A practical way to expand #HIV prevention access

What is your organisation or team doing to mark #WorldAIDSDay?

Let's share what we're upto!

It is an opportunity to remember those who have died and those who continue to be affected.

It is vital that we continue to work together towards eliminating #HIV #stigma.

Organisations like #BHIVA and #BASHH will always support the HIV community in commemorating #WorldAIDSDay.

US will no longer commemorate World Aids Day, reports say State department has told employees and grant recipients to not publicly promote or make event on 1 December

#BHIVA and #BASHH stand in solidarity with all affected by HIV globally on #WorldAIDSDay.

Marking & celebrating World AIDS Day continues to be crucial for raising awareness, promoting unity in the #HIV sector and generating support for collaborative solutions.
