I was interviewed by The Independent about inequalities in HIV affecting women, especially Black women who face systemic barriers, initiatives helping like ViiV’s Risks to Reasons campaign, and actions needed now, on behalf of @phoenixhealthm.bsky.social www.independent.co.uk/news/health/...
‘I was told I had seven years to live after my HIV diagnosis – now I am thriving’
Campaigners warn a quarter of people who are more likely to develop HIV need better access to preventative drugs
