#HIVActionPlan for England: £170m to reduce new diagnoses and re-engage people in care.
But are the targets realistic? Which groups are left out? And why do key parts of the plan appear to be unfunded?
Our analysis here: i-base.info/htb/52901
#HIV #EndHIV #HIVstigma #WAD2025
ALT Colourful i-Base graphic. The main text reads: England’s HIV Action Plan. Increased investment is welcomed but are the targets actually achievable? At the top is i-Base’s website address: I hyphen base dot info. At the bottom it says, subscribe by email. A smaller, tilted square graphic on the right, reads: HTB news. 2025. HIV treatment, prevention, access, and more. The colours used in the image are two shades of dark azure, bright yellow-green, turquoise, dark magenta, purple, pastel pink, blue-grey, light turquoise, orange, blue, teal, mustard, red, and white.

If someone is taking HIV medication and it is working, so that the virus is undetectable, they cannot pass HIV on to their sexual partner.

Donald Trump is fuelling the genocide in Gaza. He should not have the red carpet rolled out for him.
We must show our government that we reject Trumpism and we need the UK to respect human rights and end our own complicity in the Israeli genocide of Palestinians.
@UKStopTrump
A spokesperson for the Stop Trump Coalition tells @skysarahjane that 'thousands' will protest Donald Trump's state visit to the UK, accusing the Trump administration of 'funding, fuelling and providing diplomatic cover' for 'genocide' in Gaza.
