Across the #HIV sector there are huge concerns on the impact for trans people of @EHRC consultation on updated services Code of Practice

It will increase discrimination, make services less inclusive, and lead to worse health outcomes.

As H.I.V. organisations we believe the E.H.R.C. draft Code of Practice is not fit for purpose and should be withdrawn.

On Friday, Naz and SASH celebrated Eid Al-Adha with our Eid with Pride event! This affirming space celebrated the work of Muslim artists who explore their queerness, intimacy, and resistance as a force for social change. Such moving pieces of literature, poetry, art and dance. 💛

We can't talk about mental health without talking about inequality. Inequality weathers our bodies and minds, and for so many in Global Majority and LGBTQ+ communities, and people living with HIV, the cost is devastating.

So proud of #UnheardVoices and the recommendations we offer to stakeholders across the health care spectrum.

There’s no simple solution to fee systemic issues + the other concerns respondents shared with us. We must be ready to work together for our community members living with #HIV!

One Voice Network @onevoicenetwork.bsky.social · Apr 10

Black people living with HIV still face barriers in #primarycare, from stigmatising experiences to digital exclusion.

The #UnheardVoices report highlights these issues—and how we can build a more equitable system.
