BHIVA fully supports the #HIVmanifesto
Will you challenge local MP candidates to support people living with HIV?

We have come a long way since the 1980s. While stigma and discrimination remain, HIV is now a long-term condition and individuals are living with HIV into old age. HIV affects individuals of all ages with 95% of people living with HIV of working age. HIV treatment in the UK is excellent, but not everyone living with HIV is doing well. The number of people diagnosed with HIV each year remains high and far too many people are diagnosed late. Services which help people living with HIV manage their condition are facing continued funding cuts.

We have come so far. We cannot stop now.

Go to bio to read the HIV manifesto

1. Commit to tackling the stigma and discrimination faced by people living with HIV.

2. Fully fund HIV and sexual health services to meet the needs of local communities*. 3. Recognise the importance of prevention to a sustainable health and social care system by increasing investment in public health services*. 4. Equip schools with the resources they need to ensure that high-quality, age-appropriate, lesbian, gay, bisexual and trans (LGBT)-inclusive sex and relationships education is taught to all young people in all schools*. 5. Make PrEP available to all individuals at risk of HIV in the UK*. 6. Develop a fair benefits system that meets the needs of people living with HIV whether in or out of work.

7. Ensure that the health and social care system is equipped to meet the needs of a population ageing with HIV*. *The general election is electing MPs to the House of Commons, from across the UK. The House of Commons legislates for health and social care, and education, in England only. The devolved Governments of Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland legislate in these areas.
