We’re proud of our Lead Physiotherapist, Asterios, presenting at the University of Manchester Symposium on 3 Oct. His research explores digital health rehab for rare neurological conditions like VZV-associated myelitis, seen more often in people with HIV.

A fantastic outcome. Jason spoke up, sought support, and engaged constructively.

Kudos to @specsaversuk.bsky.social for updating UK guidance: HIV is no longer listed as a contraindication.

HIV stigma has no place in healthcare.

Evidence > stigma. U=U.

A critical message from the UNAIDS 2025 report: Progress against HIV is in crisis due to funding cuts. The report shows a risk of 6 million more infections by 2030 if support is not renewed. We need renewed global solidarity now. mildmay.org/wad

The latest UNAIDS update is a stark reminder that gaps in HIV treatment persist. Cuts to vital programmes, alongside stigma and punitive laws, risk reversing progress. We must prioritise access, equity, and support for people living with HIV. #HIV #GlobalHealth #EndAIDS

UNAIDS Global @unaids.org · Aug 19

9.2 million people were not accessing life-saving HIV treatment, in 2024.

Now, funding cuts have forced vital HIV programmes to halt. Combined with existing barriers like stigma and punitive laws, this new challenge risks increasing this number.
