NAZ

The Countdown to #ZeroHIVStigmaDay 2025 Starts NOW! “Awareness to Action: Our Path to 2030” calls us towards meaningful action that eliminates stigma, improves quality of life for people living with HIV, and accelerates efforts to end all onward HIV transmissions by 2030.

You may have heard about #healthjustice , but what does it actually mean? Understand why health inequalities are not just medical, but intersect with society, culture and the political, and how you can help fight for health justice with community action.

Find out why Naz uses the term Global Majority and why you should consider making it part of your everyday vocabulary.

This LGBTQIA+ History Month celebrates Science & Innovation, where we honour the queer global majority shaping STEM, healthcare & tech worldwide. We recognise those whose courage and curiosity drive discovery and inclusion, building a more equitable future for all.

Valentine's Day is as much about loving yourself as it is about others. 💋 Before the weekend's festivities, order your SHL.uk at-home testing kit. 😘 Want to test for HIV? Order your free kit at freetesting.hiv in time for #NationalHIVTestingWeek

Mark your calendar 📆 Monday 9 February is the first day of National HIV Testing Week, and it’s never been easier to test. Testing is quick, free, and fits around your life. Find the testing option that works for you bit.ly/4ivnp9i. #ITest #HIVTestingWeek

As of February 1st due to the exponential increase in referrals in recent months we will be pausing the referral process until the end of March 2026. We know this will be very disappointing and if you email info@naz.org.uk we will do our best to redirect to other services.

Hearing from our service users how valued our safe spaces are is so meaningful because these spaces are few and far between. We love co-creating a safe space that fosters creativity, connection, joy, and understanding with our community members. 💛

Naz will be closed from noon on December 24 to January 1, with our services resuming as normal on Friday 2 January at 9:30am. If you need to speak to a counsellor urgently please ring one of the following services. If you are in immediate crisis, call 999.
