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.

(5/5) Our role is to amplify and support community voices as we take forward our goals, not only of ending new HIV transmissions by 2030 and eliminate HIV related stigma, but also to improve health related quality of life for all people with HIV.

(4/5) As the next BHIVA Chair I am committed to continuing support for our world leading educational programmes, conferences, guidelines, and seeing an update to the BHIVA Standards of Care.

Truly this is a time when the phrase 'nothing about us without us' has never been more timely.

(3/5) The next phase of the HIV response in the UK will be different. With testing patterns and migration changing, with increasing PrEP access, with evolving care needs for older people with HIV, with NHS reorganisation in England.

(2/5) including at every level of @bhiva.bsky.social.

In addition to meeting the needs of healthcare professionals working in HIV, we will continue to seek out the opinions of and include professionals of lived experience, especially those from underrepresented groups.

...this will profoundly improve the lives of thousands of people by helping them to stay free of HIV, particularly individuals with high additional vulnerabilities, such as women. We've worked hard to ensure the needs of these individuals are considered & the NICE announcement confirms this“
