Injectable PrEP will be transformative for our HIV response.

It's highly effective and has the potential to reach those who are not currently accessing other HIV prevention.

Did you know? More than half the people in the UK living with HIV are now over 50. Thanks to testing and treatment, people can live long, healthy lives.

If you test positive for #HIV, treatment is highly effective, and most can expect to live a long, healthy life.

Early diagnosis can be lifesaving, so please get tested regularly if you’re sexually active.

i-Base graphic for IAS 2025. The main text reads: Once-weekly oral ART. New research that might make HIV meds even easier to take. At the top is i-Base’s website address: I hyphen base dot info. In the bottom left it says: HIV treatment bulletin. In the bottom right is a white box, containing the words: IAS 2025. 13th to 17th July. Above this is a spiral next to the red AIDS ribbon. There are horizontal strips of the IAS 2025 signature graphics at the top and bottom of the image. They are made up of squares, each containing its own unique pattern based on traditional Rwandan art. The colours used in the image are red, black, white and grey.

Bringing @hivinteractions.bsky.social to the @nhivna.bsky.social annual conference
#nhivna2025

Attending #nhivna2025 and hearing about the amazing work of smaller and rural clinics… size doesn’t always matter??

In #HIV services in the 80's and 90's we were used to talking about end of life care, but with effective medication we stopped. With an aging population we need to be considering 'advance care plans' again. Great talk at #NHIVNA2025 conference in Leeds

Stage is set for day three… psychological standards, HIV action plan in rural and urban settings, research and engagement… #nhivna2025

Great presentation from James from @nat.org.uk about the findings of the @hivoutcomes.bsky.social research on the financial crisis facing the #HIV voluntary sector, who provide an essential complement to clinical care, particularly in providing #PeerSupport. #NHIVNA2025

And we are off! NHIVNA2025 in Leeds w clone address by our Chair Linda Panton
