We had a fantastically productive day in Plymouth presenting about sexual health prevention, and self-management. Big thanks to everyone who organised, attended, and spoke at the event. It was amazing to see so many people, and the passion in the room was infectious.

While International Women’s Day is an important opportunity to celebrate how far we’ve come, it’s also a reminder that there is still a long way to go to overcome gender-based inequality.
#internationalwomensday #IWD #plymouth #somerset #devon #cornwall #gloucestershire #torbay
Global health inequalities affecting women remain a significant issue. In the sexual health sector, women and girls are
disproportionately affected by inequalities in healthcare, which can increase their risk of HIV and limit access to prevention, testing and treatment in many parts of the world.
We’re bringing organisations and community members together to help shape the future of sexual health self-management in Devon and Torbay.
Torquay – 6 March
Exeter – 23 April
Barnstaple - TBC

HIV Testing Week might have ended but we're still hard at work in the communities we serve, being in spaces where people can have discussions about their health.

National Condom Day is upon us, and as ever it's a chance to shine a light on the incredible achievements.
So, with that in mind. Here are 5 reasons why we wear condoms.

HIV Testing Week isn't only about encouraging people to test for HIV. It's also about being visible in the community.
Yesterday Emily had the chance to visit Royal Devon and Exeter Hospital to engage with people about HIV, and sexual health.
