Tell me you are a millennial without telling me you are a millennial. 💃

Testing positive for a Sexually Transmitted Infection (STI) can be scary and stressful, especially if you need to disclose this information to a loved one or sexual partner. The sexual health service can notify them on your behalf while keeping your identity confidential. #SHW24

Today Lord Fowler addressed the issue of HIV Stigma in House of Lords Let’s break the silence and stigma around HIV. Education and empathy are key to supporting those living with HIV. Together, we can create a world free of discrimination.

Today Michael Cashman 🇺🇦🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈🇮🇪🇪🇺🇬🇧 in House of Lords spoke that disengagement in HIV care is driven by inequalities & intersecting forms of stigma and discrimination. UK Health Security Agency research shows that in 2022, people living with HIV experienced poorer levels of wellbeing and unmet needs than 5yrs ago

This was such a key point made by Liz Barker. Many large centres have benefited from interventions to link people living with HIV to remain in care but what about suburban and rural areas? #HIVactionplan

I’m dead 🤣🤣🤣💀

Choosing to terminate a pregnancy can be a challenging decision. If you’re struggling and need support following an abortion, there is support available from charities such as bpas.org, abortiontalk.com, msichoices.org.uk. #SHW24

I fear this part of the Darzi report already risks getting lost - but it is absolutely key. If we want to avoid another lost decade for the NHS, we have to invest in the wider public sector and all the other things that make up the wider determinants of health.

Lord Darzi’s report makes a sobering read, laying bare the challenges staff and patients are experiencing. The full report is well worth the read but if you’re struggling for time, CF have summarised the main points from the 159 page report ⤵️ carnallfarrar.com/darzi-investig…

Our BASHH symposium IUSTI Europe congress is underway Stephanie Tyler expertly set out where we are with PrEP in UK now - highlights the mismatch between presentation of HIV and those accessing PrEP. Now need to do more to increase access, e.g. among women

It's extremely concerning that a Tik Tok by Dr Sermed Mezher 🇬🇧🇮🇶💙 which falsely claims that HIV and hepatitis can be contracted via toilet paper has over one million views. This is not only scientifically impossible, it perpetuates HIV stigma and instils fear in the general public.

Terrence Higgins Trust Dr Sermed Mezher 🇬🇧🇮🇶💙 FastTrackCitiesLDN BASHH BHIVA completely agree Dr Nambiar, well put. This misunderstanding by Dr Sermed Mezher 🇬🇧🇮🇶💙 is now misinformation driving potential stigma.
