Don’t walk on by. 
Or assume your mate is asleep.

Can you hear gurgling or snoring sounds? This may mean someone is STRUGGLING TO BREATHE.

Every life matters.

#WorldHepatitisDay
This year’s theme is “Let’s break it down” – a global call to simplify, scale up, and integrate hepatitis services into national health systems.
World Hepatitis Day | 28 July 2025

Every year, 1.3 million lives are lost to hepatitis, often because people weren’t tested or treated in time. World Health Organisation (WHO) data shows deaths are rising. Let’s change that.

People who inject drugs are most at risk for hepatitis C. Most pharmacies take part in needle and syringe programmes, where you can get new, clean injecting equipment and advice for staying safe. You can also return any used equipment so that it can be safely disposed of.
What people living with HIV say

Stigma isn’t just a word; it’s something people living with HIV face in their daily lives. These powerful statements, shared by people with lived experience, highlight the real impact of HIV stigma and the strength it takes to challenge it.
Despite advances in treatment, HIV stigma remains a serious issue. In the UK in 2022:

31% of people living with HIV felt lonely or isolated
10% experienced verbal harassment
9% were afraid to be in public places.
But together, we can change this.
Why is 21 July Zero HIV Stigma Day?

This date honours Prudence Nobantu Mabele, the first woman in South Africa to publicly share her HIV status. Her courage has inspired people around the world and now, her birthday marks International Zero HIV Stigma Day.

#HIV #Brighton #Hove
Today is Zero HIV Stigma Day. In Brighton & Hove we are marking the occasion with an event at Jubilee Square from 1pm. Everyone is welcome.

Show your support and let's end HIV stigma.

#HIV #ZeroStigma #FightHIVstigma
Whether you’re passionate about equality, interested in learning more, or simply want to show your support, this event is for you.
Let’s make Brighton & Hove a zero HIV stigma city

We’re inviting everyone in Brighton & Hove to come together on Monday 21 July to mark Zero HIV Stigma Day – a day of solidarity, education and action.
