#TeamSavingLives are always here for our LGBTQIA+ staff & clients.

Pride means different things to everyone. For some it’s a celebration, for others it’s a protest.

Equal rights are not guaranteed. We need to continue to fight for everyone to be treated with respect and dignity.

We’re at the Houses Of Parliament today for the @nat.org.uk #HIVOutcomes report launch.

Voluntary & charitable organisations are the backbone of HIV support, education & outreach in 2025.

The current level of funding for their vital support is unacceptable and unsustainable

Today is #IDAHOBIT @may17org.bsky.social.

The international day against homophobia, biphobia, interphobia and transphobia.

As seen in the UK LGBTQIA rights aren’t guaranteed and can regress.

May 17th is a day to stand forward and pledge your support with LGBTQIA people everywhere.

PrEP - what is it, and why aren't more women on it?

Our Clinical Nurse Specialist, @niamhfkielb.bsky.social, talks about conversations she's had with friends & family - and the barriers we need to overcome to get more women accessing #PrEP.

This #HIVTestingWeek we're encouraging folk to take control of their health and #GetTested

There's no such thing as a bad #HIV diagnosis
- If negative you can take steps to stay negative (PrEP, condoms etc)
- If positive you now know and can start treatment

There's support for you no matter what ❤️

Rachel visited her local sexual health service, feeling unwell after the end of a relationship.

"By testing when I did, I was diagnosed early. #HIV hadn't damaged my immune system. Now my HIV treatment gives me the freedom to be me" ❤️

#DYK someone living with #HIV on effective treatment, often just one pill a day, can live just as long & well as any of their peers.

Treatment also stops them passing HIV onto their sexual partners or unborn children. It all starts with a test.

Today marks the start of #HIVTestingWeek in England.

Did you know that there are thousands of people in the UK who don't realise that they're living with HIV?

We can all do our part by testing for #HIV - and all it takes is one finger prick.

Get your free test at: test.tht.org.uk/finder today.
