NHIVNA celebrates nurses every day, but today is extra special as we get to say it out loud for all to hear. Your care, commitment, and compassion do not go unnoticed—thank you for everything you do for people living with or affected by HIV.

If you test positive for #HIV, treatment is highly effective, and most can expect to live a long, healthy life. Early diagnosis can be lifesaving, so please get tested regularly if you’re sexually active. Visit the NHS website to check your options: t.co/rvJOa6bo28 t.co/TxoVjMSA1n
Did you know? More than half the people in the UK living with HIV are now over 50. Thanks to testing and treatment, people can live long, healthy lives.

In #HIV services in the 80's and 90's we were used to talking about end of life care, but with effective medication we stopped. With an aging population we need to be considering 'advance care plans' again. Great talk at #NHIVNA2025 conference in Leeds

The new #SexualHealth data from UKHSA highlights the vital importance of testing. However, inequalities remain for young people, gay, bisexual and men who have sex with men, and certain minoritised ethnic groups, something the Government must address. nat.org.uk/news/ineq...
“It is notable and disappointing that disparities remain in terms of sexual health among certain populations. Culturally appropriate sexual health care should be everyone’s right. The fact that this message does not appear to be reaching some parts of the community is a cause for concern.” Robie Currie. C.E.O
