"Solidarity has always been a cornerstone of activism, and the history of #HIV advocacy highlights its transformative power," @JoeParryComms writes on our website looking back at previous generations of activists this LGBT+ History Month #LGBTplusHM.

A new joint report - Getting on track: Becoming the first country to end new HIV cases by 2030 - launches today, laying out key areas the Government must prioritise in the next #HIVActionPlan, to end new #HIV cases in the UK.

Another “game-changer pill” is now offered by the NHS. Unlike with the PrEP rollout in England, this time there’s no finger-pointing at potential users, no excuses for more clinical trials before implementation and no need to sue NHS England to access it.

Finally! So many years of work from so many people and, at last, LGBT+ people living with HIV have equal fertility rights.

Congratulations to @NAT_AIDS_Trust staff, past and present, and the countless clinicians, activists and supporters who made this happen.

[National AIDS Trust @NAT_AIDS_Trust]

WE DID IT!

The House of Lords has just approved #EqualHIVFertilityRights!

In the coming weeks, LGBT+ people living with HIV, like Alan, will be able to donate their eggs and sperm and become parents if they wish, ending decades of discrimination.

The @HouseofCommons has just passed #EqualHIVFertilityRights!

The legislation will be debated later today in the @UKHouseofLords. Thank you @GwynneMP for taking the right steps to end this unjust barrier for LGBT+ people living with #HIV who wish to be parents.

[Adam @adam_f23]

A very emotional day to watch these regulations pass into law.

This is for everyone living with HIV who wants to become a parent ✊🏻

Thank you @GwynneMP @DHSCgovuk for taking the right steps.

I was proud as punch to be mentioned in the debate personally!

To show more love to @angellicabell - throughout my career working w talent, she left one of the very best impressions. She filmed a show at St Thomas' when I worked there and was a total joy to work with. So friendly, so easy, so attentive. Sure many will have similar stories.

@RossLydall Oh wow. I used to cycle through there most days when I worked at St Thomas' and do not remember it being anything like this. I left less than two years ago...

[National AIDS Trust @NAT_AIDS_Trust]

We strongly oppose the inflammatory language that is being used in some media reporting to vilify people living with #HIV, and won’t stand by while harmful and stigmatising narratives are being used against our community.

Over the years, many people have complained about the state of sexual health services in the UK.

Taking part in research like this directly improves these services.

My friend Natasha has been missing for 7 days

She is 55 yr old transwoman, last seen in Soho on Friday at 2am wearing a white Chanel suit.

I am asking if any editors or publications would be up for reposting or perhaps covering a small news story about her disappearance 🙏

It's very disappointing that @NICEComms hasn’t recommended Cabotegravir long-acting (CAB-LA) for HIV prevention. It could help address unmet needs in groups facing barriers to healthcare and PrEP.
