Together, we’re securing rights and stopping HIV
National AIDS Trust is a truly unique charity that gets to the heart of the issues driving HIV and HIV stigma in the UK.
Our small team expertly advocates to change the system for the better. Over the years this has meant that tens of thousands more people have access to HIV care and prevention services and have legal rights protecting them from discrimination. But the work is not done.
Progress is not equal across all groups. This is bolstered by the stigma continuing to affect the day-to-day lives of people living with HIV, often because society has not kept up with science and sometimes because the same can be said for policy and law.
Our successes in 2023 offer a snapshot as to how you, our supporters, are helping us to continue to make a difference to the lives of those living with HIV and to end transmissions for good. Because of your support we have secured change that will mean that many LGBT+ people living with HIV now have the option to start a family through surrogacy, something which to this point they have been excluded from by law.
Hundreds of people have also been able to access HIV care because they received a routine HIV test in A&E which they otherwise would never have had.
As we look forward to 2024, many more will continue to benefit from these wins. But we need to redouble our efforts to make sure that progress to end HIV transmissions is seen for all groups affected and to ensure that people living with HIV are always treated fairly, without fear of discrimination. We cannot do this on our own and it’s your donations and support that make this possible. Thank you.
