please read this very important article! the university of leeds is not a safe place for trans students - their deadnames are outed systematically due to IT systems which are unfit for purpose, and nothing is improving.

Today is #WorldAIDSDay

A day to honour those we have lost and to educate people about the disease. HIV is not a death sentence. You can live a healthy, happy and love-filled life whilst having HIV ❤️

Here are some incredible gay icons who are breaking the stigma of the virus

[MESMAC @mesmachealth]

Today is #WorldAIDSDay a day to remember those who have been lost to us because of #HIV and a day to reaffirm that @yorkshiremesmac will continue to fight like hell for those who are still with us.

[PrEPster @TeamPrepster]

It's #PrEPawarenessweek ! PrEP can be used by almost everyone - not just cis gay men.

There are lots of reasons why someone might benefit from PrEP - including not always being able to negotiate condoms with lovers or clients.
