The findings are clear:
⚠️ Stigma is pervasive
🔒 Confidentiality concerns
⚕️ Low confidence in primary care while our services struggle with little resources to provide the best quality care

All remain key barriers for Black people living with #HIV in London.

“Real change and progress begin when we acknowledge where we can do better. Black African and Caribbean communities know what they need; it’s time for our decision-makers to act”, said @cganotakis.bsky.social, co-chair of @onevoicenetwork.bsky.social
