Sexual Health Services : HIV Pledge

Our Pledge to end HIV - It's time to end HIV transmissions in the UK

You and your colleagues have the power to help the cause, inspire change and vocalise support.

With your help the UK could be the first country to eradicate HIV.

Our Integrated Sexual Health Service has co-created the HIV pledge with a range of community partners, and we hope that people will commit their support to help achieve the zero transmissions of HIV by 2030.

The HIV Pledge

Together we can achieve zero transmissions of HIV by 2030.

It’s time to change the perception of HIV, to increase awareness of this long-term condition and commit to:

• Understanding the importance of why early testing and treatment is good for people’s future health.
• Improving education and staying up to date with facts about HIV.
• Making sure we put our people and patients first. Talk openly and compassionately about prevention, testing, treatment, and support.
• Finding out about the local sexual health service offer.
• Challenging stigma, attitudes, and discrimination.
• Raise awareness by participating in/promoting World Aids Day and national HIV testing week.
• Having HIV champions in your organisation (see editable pledge templates for ideas).

Making a pledge

There are a couple of ways that you and/or your organisation can get involved:

• Sign up to the pledge as an organisation or commissioning group.
• Sign up as an individual and act as a champion in your organisation or place of work (this includes voluntary sector groups and organisations)
