Hi everyone! Let me introduce myself. I’m a passionate advocate for #publichealth, #equity & impact. My public health work has spanned decades - from tackling #HIV/AIDS to leading London's response to COVID-19.

I'll be sharing insights on wellbeing, disease trends & building healthier communities.

It’s easier than you think to get and take an HIV test, whether you use a sexual health clinic, a GP, or prefer the convenience of using an at-home test kit.

The sooner you know your HIV status, the sooner you can get on treatment and avoid passing on the virus.
