Veritee - My HIV

Married, in my 70s now. HIV+ Determined to speak up loud and clear about HIV If only for those many who feel they have to hide due to stigma.

That is great news. Opt out testing should happen at all Hospitals A&E departments and all GPs

[Terrence Higgins Trust @THTorguk]

A new study published today in @TheLancetHIV found opt-out HIV testing in A&E is cost effective and allows people to start life-saving treatment earlier.

It estimates that the first 802 diagnoses from opt-out will prevent around 187 related deaths and 28 new transmissions.

Makes me angry too. I nearly died giving birth
And even in a UK hospital they only just saved me and my baby.
Yes it boils my blood too!

[Kirstie Allsopp @KirstieMAllsopp]

This boils my blood!!! Women die giving birth, I am so sick of people saying our bodies know what to do. Try telling this to women in Afghanistan, where 638 women die per 100,000 live birth AND 50 babies die per 1000 lives births.

@TRobinsonNewEra Many of the views of this film were not a ‘demand for truth’ ! Just many wanting to know what rubbish, hate and bigotry this man is spouting. To better know how to counter it.

@politicdebate1 @juneslater17 Not if you get a full state pension so do not qualify for pension credits or any means tested benefits.
You only have your income to be above the level you can get these by a few pence.
Not to qualify for anything above your state pension including winter fuel allowance

@ClareDuffl48474 How is the black relevant?
No this shouldn’t happen and I know it’s scary. But their are many homeless and the majority are not black

[Emma Cole 'Positive Voice' HIV+ @emmacolehiv]

Over 35 weeks, I've given 87 talks in 76 different schools, travelling just under 13,000 miles all around the UK.

Estimated 16,500 young people and their teachers learning about #HIV including the vital #uequalsu message.

Thank you to all the teachers who support my work.

@PaulbernalUK I’m not in tech now & it’s terrifying. My phone is now not just a potential cyber threat. But potentially a physical one too.

[Veritee - My HIV @veritee]

I don’t but it’s terrifying! I’m looking at my phone in a different way. A potential weapon, not just cyber but a physical one!
