This inequity must end.

The Skin Like Mine programme is designed to serve Black Londoners by breaking down barriers and ensuring everyone has the tools to protect their health.

Black Londoners face unique challenges when it comes to HIV prevention – from stigma and structural barriers to unequal access to services. Over half of new HIV diagnoses in Black heritage people are made late, increasing health risks and onward transmission.

Living with HIV is both personal and universal: unique journeys, shared truths.

Whether you're newly diagnosed or this is the 50th #WorldAIDSday you've experienced living with HIV, we hope Jose's words speak to you.

We’re lucky to live in a time where HIV treatment means long, healthy lives. But late diagnosis can still impact your health. The fix? Test. It’s free, quick & confidential. Do it at least once a year for peace of mind.

Chemsex is on the rise along with addiction, overdoses and stigma.

By sharing your experiences – what’s used, how often, where and what support is missing – you’ll help shape better services and influence change.

Whether you're backing West Ham or Chelsea today we all share the same goal: ending new HIV transmissions in London.

βœ… Test regularly

We're sharing what all Londoners should know:
That condoms, PrEP and regular testing help to prevent HIV
And that Undetectable equals Untransmittable: that with effective medication, people living with HIV can live long, healthy lives, and HIV can't be passed on.

Most Londoners don’t know enough about HIV, and what they can do to help stop new transmissions.

But there’s a lot you DO know about being a Londoner.

We're incredibly excited to TODAY launch our new campaign inviting all Londoners to help prevent HIV together.
