Today, December 1st 2019, marks the annual day of awareness with World AIDS Day.

We’ve come a long way since the AIDS crisis first emerged, when so many lost their lives. Thankfully medical advances now mean HIV doesn’t have to stand in the way of living a long and healthy life.

But it’s not over. More people than ever are living with HIV in the UK. Services are being cut, stigma and myths about HIV are still deeply entrenched and we’re now seeing the first generation growing old with HIV. We can’t stop now.

On World AIDS Day 2019 we are still fighting, still caring and still wearing our red ribbon with pride. We won’t forget, we won’t give up. It’s not over.
