Today is #WorldAIDSDay and this year is especially meaningful. From sharing my story @British_Airways, to presenting to the @metpoliceuk, and the @UKMoD_DefenceRT now allowing people living with HIV to serve as aircrew. Seminal Progress. There's more to do, and I’m here for it💪🏻

[Terrence Higgins Trust @THTorguk]

This change happened because people living with HIV never give up, and because Terrence Higgins Trust and @BritishHIVAssoc made clear that a better way was possible.

Are you a person living with HIV who wants to become an airline pilot? Wherever you are in the world, please get in touch! It's time to break down the barriers! #HIV #aviation #flying

[National AIDS Trust @NAT_AIDS_Trust]

Despite incredible advances made in the treatment of #HIV, there is still far too much stigma and misinformation surrounding the subject.

Here are five facts about HIV which are vital to understanding this #WorldAIDSDay

#UequalsU #CantPassItOn

[World Health Organization (WHO) @WHO]

People living with #HIV continue to face stigma & discrimination. This #WorldAIDSday, watch Dr @teozka explain the science behind ZERO risk of HIV transmission when people take effective treatment & have undetectable viral load & why we need to destigmatize HIV.

Today is World AIDS Day. Held every year on 1 December, it's a time to remember those we've lost to HIV. The red ribbon is the international symbol for HIV awareness and support for people living with HIV. But for our community, it’s more than a ribbon. #WorldAIDSDay

[Terrence Higgins Trust @THTorguk]

World AIDS Day is this Sunday. 

It’s remembering everyone lost to HIV.
It’s a promise to support people living with HIV.
It’s a pledge to end new cases of HIV by 2030.
It’s a stand against HIV stigma.

An honour to visit 10 Downing Street with @THTorguk to mark World AIDS Day 2024. It's more than a ribbon.

We promise to support people that live with HIV.

We pledge to end new cases by 2030.

We stand against HIV stigma.

Fab that this is starting. Important we invest in future flight crew and this is a great step towards it

Yesterday, almost 10 years to the day that I was diagnosed with #HIV I flew my very first flight for @British_Airways. To everyone who has helped me on the journey, THANK YOU.

There's more work to be done for people across the world who face challenges just like mine, and I want to help. For now though it's time to get acquainted with the new office and if I don't see you before, see you in the sky!

What a week!

10 years ago today, I was diagnosed with HIV. The first question I asked the doctor was, "How long will I live?". We didn't know then, but we know now, that the answer to that question is just as long as you!

[James Bushe @bushePilot]

Yesterday, 10 years after that life-changing moment, my dream finally became a reality, and I flew my very first flight for British Airways. To everyone who has helped me throughout the journey so far, THANK YOU. I couldn't have done it without you.
