A fantastic opportunity for those recently diagnosed "Living With HIV", to join this course and gain the knowledge and tools to live well with HIV. We are delivering this in a co-production with Waverley Care. Please follow the details below to register.

Iain, our Peer Support Coordinator, shares his inspiring story of resilience after a late-stage HIV diagnosis. Despite health challenges, he wants people to know HIV is no longer a death sentence—you can live well with it. Connect with peer navigators at @WaverleyCare for support

Navigating the #NHS can be hard for people who were born abroad. If you work with #migrants and #AsylumSeekers, we've published video guides in French, Portuguese, Spanish, Kiswahili and English to explain HIV entitlements to make the process easier. ow.ly/HF5U50Qurts

Angelina from @4Mproject shares some thoughts about women accessing HIV support, and why peer support is so important. @PositiveEast @PositivelyUk @THTorguk @NazProjectLdn @METROCharity @NAT_AIDS_Trust  #hivawareness

Great to speak to @THTorguk today. We can make HIV a thing of the past by 2030, but it will take government action. I’ll be working hard. For starters by making sure PREP is more easily available in Scotland.
