Congratulations to Alison Thewliss MSP on her appointment as Minister for Community Care.

Having previously championed the rights of people living with HIV as Vice Chair of the APPG on HIV and AIDS, we know she shares our 2030 goal. We look forward to working with her on urgent actions, including securing equitable access to peer and mental health support, and re-engaging those who are currently lost to care.

Congratulations to Maree Todd MSP on her return to the public health brief as Minister for Mental Wellbeing, Public Health, Sport, Alcohol and Drugs.

Having previously championed the HIV Transmission Elimination Proposal, we know she shares our 2030 goal. We look forward to working with her again on urgent actions, including rolling out opt-out testing in emergency departments and delivering a national online HIV prevention service, alongside tackling the well-documented links between HIV stigma and mental health.

Some people stop going to their HIV clinic because life feels too difficult. 

Whatever the reason, there’s help out there. It’s worth another try.

Scotland could be the first country in the world to end new cases of HIV. 

Write to your candidates ahead of the Scottish Parliament election and let them know that this must be a priority.

We were at Scottish Labour Conference with @WaverleyCare talking to MSPs, MPs and candidates about the action that is needed to end new transmissions of HIV in Scotland by 2030.

Thank you to @AnasSarwar and everyone who dropped by to discuss how we can achieve this goal.

The gonorrhoea vaccine is available now!

The vaccine is being rolled out across Scotland from today and will be available at sexual health clinics for free.

Contact your local clinic or ask at your next sexual health check-up if the vaccine is right for you.
