This is lovely: plans to install a life-size statue of The Vivienne in Liverpool's Pride quarter have been unveiled.

HEADING ON TOUR ✈️ 🌈

In just one week, #GMCLA embarks on its first international tour in more than 20 years! Following WorldPride in Amsterdam, more than 80 of our singers will head to London for Love Across the Pond, a joyful celebration of music, #PRIDE, and community...(1/3)

No one should go to a Pride event and not come home. Today we're sending our love and solidarity to everyone at Berlin Pride.

Pride remains a protest, and it's far from job done on LGBT+ equality.

Congratulations @JamesFrith, we’re looking forward to working with you as Public Health Minister.

Together, we can be the generation that end new HIV cases in England once and for all.

[James Frith MP @JamesFrith]

I am delighted to have been appointed by the Prime Minister to Health Minister in the @DHSCgovuk to serve in @YvetteCooperMP’s team and cannot wait to get started.

Sad to see @SharonHodgsonMP leaving government. In just months she has been a transformative health minister.

Thanks to her, this govt is the first to fund the free formula milk & sterilisation equipment for the infants of women living with HIV.

Very excited about the change @YvetteCooperMP will bring to health.

As @THTorguk, I will be talk to her about the HIV Action Plan/2030 goal, a new sexual health strategy & finally secure action on Chemsex.

Few have more govt experience or passion for tacking inequalities!

44 years ago today, on 16 July 1982, AIDS and infected blood products were firmly on the radar.

The Infected Blood Inquiry report records: “Then, in the MMWR of 16 July 1982, the CDC reported three cases which had been confirmed in people with haemophilia who had developed AIDS.”

It also records that an internal DHSS memo that day “alerted the Medicines Division to possible adverse publicity about the risks of US Factor 8 concentrates”.

Do you know how much of an impact opt-out HIV testing in A&Es is having?

Here's our Chief Executive @RichardAngell with the jaw-dropping truth.

[BBC Breakfast @BBCBreakfast]

Veteran radio DJ Paul Gambaccini has been diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease.

In a statement, the BBC Radio 2 and Greatest Hits Radio presenter said: "As Freddie Mercury once sang, you can't turn back the clock, you can't turn back the tide. Ain't that a shame".

Those co-infected with HIV and Hep C as a result of the Infected Blood Scandal will receive compensation payments for each round of interferon treatment they endured. This will be a relief for victims. 

Thank you @AshleyDalton_MP for the question and @NickTorfaen for the answer.
