Where's Our HIV Strategy?
posted: 02/11/2010
NAT has just launched a petition for a national strategy on HIV - its campaign for 2010 World AIDS Day.
There will be more than 100,000 people living with HIV in the UK in one years time, but the national strategy for HIV and sexual health in England runs out this December. There are no plans yet for a new one.
However the UK made a promise to the UN to have a HIV strategy which:
- demonstrates political leadership
- is properly financed
- is genuinely multi-sectoral and cross-departmental
- promotes human rights
- confronts stigma and discrimination
- effectively meets the need for high quality HIV prevention, testing, treatment, care and support.
This World AIDS Day, NAT is calling on the Prime Minister to keep this promise and create a new national strategy to combat HIV and link this to those agreed in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
