Check out the new #BHIVA Rapid Guidance on re-engagement into #HIV care.

It is an opportunity to remember those who have died and those who continue to be affected.
It is vital that we continue to work together towards eliminating #HIV #stigma.
Organisations like #BHIVA and #BASHH will always support the HIV community in commemorating #WorldAIDSDay.
#BHIVA and #BASHH stand in solidarity with all affected by HIV globally on #WorldAIDSDay.
Marking & celebrating World AIDS Day continues to be crucial for raising awareness, promoting unity in the #HIV sector and generating support for collaborative solutions.

Quote from the report "People living with HIV have to do a yearly cervical smear and my GP refused to do it for me. I had to go back and forth between my GP and HIV clinic."
A quote from the report "I was asked by my GP how does someone like you get HIV. At the time I had no words I was just in shock at the question."

![Two quotes from the report:
"[My] GP was rude to me when she found out that I was pregnant, she said 'who told you to get pregnant when you have HIV?'"
"One of the doctors at my practice would put gloves on and open the windows before she would examine me. "](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:cdodjedqtk7gwllhkn4z7cdn/bafkreieorn6q6lsgwq6yc6ptntea4rza5xolsjl37qftklsv2egiczpasm)

I'm appalled. I can't believe there are people working in general practices in London who thought that was OK. I can't imagine what it must be like if you live in areas of low #HIV prevalence.
What can RCGP do about this? @rcgp.bsky.social

Despite being a #BHIVA conference virgin, it was an absolute delight to reconnect with people in GUM/HIV I haven't seen in years. I've also made many new connections, not all of them on the dancefloor though. 💃🕺😬
I might be back ...

Thank you to @bhiva.bsky.social for organising a very successful conference in Brighton and one reason why I decided to come along.
I got alot more out of this meeting than I had anticipated.

One of the joys of the #BHIVA autumn meeting: catching up with colleagues I trained with back in the 90s and those who have come through Sandyford in the decades since.

Really sorry I couldn’t be at the @bhiva.bsky.social #BHIVA conference today.
Gutted I missed you all, but looking forward to Brighton in 2025.
A serious start at the #BHIVA autumn conference: pushing back on disparity between HIV and hepatitis B controls for HCW occupational clearance, challenges for prisoners living with HIV, and adverse impact of attempted prosecutions for reckless transmission. We still have to tackle #HIV stigma .
Good morning BlueSky!
We’ve been hearing some amazing things about #HIVsky, #IDsky, #GUMsky, and #MedSky - so with autumn #BHIVA upon us, we thought now’s the perfect time to dive in! 😎
If you’re posting, BlueSky-ing(?) or skeeting(!?) about today’s British HIV Association conference please be sure to use the hashtag #BHIVA so that we can find and share your content! 🤩 🧬 🦠
