With co-ownership, people move from being participants to power-holders. And that's how we drive lasting change-together ❤️ @uwebristolofficial.bsky.social @bpsofficial.bsky.social @divhealthpsych.bsky.social

But there's another step: Shifting from co-production to co-ownership.

⭐ Capturing community responses to data, gives thicker, real life insights.⭐

These perspectives deepen interpretation and guide response setting in co-production.

Co-production can be a key approach to optimise impact and equity in programming for HIV & STIs. But how do we do this in a way that holds value and meaning to communities?-a 🧵based on reflections from a #healthpsychologist @stihiv2025.org for @bashhuk.bsky.social

In the latest @bashhuk.bsky.social #bitesize session awarded scholars @manikkohli.bsky.social, Sophie Nash and I reflect on our attendance to the ISSTDR & IUSTI @stihiv2025.org. Missed the event? A recording of the session will be available from the members section of bashh.org

#Livedexperiences of #PrEP use amongst #malesexworkers reveals barriers, #stigma and gaps in access-reminding us that #healthequity starts with [1] asking, [2] listening and [3] responding to #realvoices. @uwebristolofficial.bsky.social @bpsofficial.bsky.social @divhealthpsych.bsky.social

Delivering valuable insights at
HIV Prevention England 2025 that using language identifying people and their #health needs as 'Most at risk populations' contributes to #stigma. Instead, focusing on shared experiences and behaviours creates better opportunities for reach and connectivity.

As first dates go, our #braindate at @stihiv2025.org focusing on #digitalhealth #interventions for #male #sexworkers was rich in reflections, shared experiences and innovative ideas that centred dignity, access and equity. Join in the discussion by leaving a comment below:

Underfunding #medical and #scientific #research can lead to increased #mortality rates due to delayed or inadequate #care, missed opportunities for disease #prevention and #treatment, and a lack of effective #interventions. Stay updated at: impactcounter.com
