Empowerment comes from understanding. HIV is just one part of a person’s story. By educating ourselves and sharing experiences, we inspire others. Inform, inspire, and ignite change—because knowledge is power. Let’s create a future built on empathy and action. 🎗 #WorldAIDSDay

The journey to zero transmissions by 2030 is a collective effort. It’s not just a target—it’s a promise to everyone living with HIV. Let’s challenge assumptions, break barriers, and ensure no one is left behind. Together, we can reach 2030 and beyond. #WorldAIDSDay #ZeroBy2030

Progress happens when we challenge outdated policies and embrace diverse perspectives. The changes in military HIV policy show what’s possible when advocacy meets action. Let’s celebrate these wins and drive more, ensuring no one is left behind. 🎗 #WorldAIDSDay #Leadership

Knowledge is power. Opt-out testing ensures no one is left behind—reaching those who may not know they’re at risk. Early diagnosis saves lives and empowers control over health. Let’s normalise testing as routine. Get tested. Know your status. You can’t pass it on. #WorldAIDSDay

On #RemembranceSunday, we honour those who fell in battle and those who fought silent struggles after service. Let’s remember all who carried the weight of military life, even beyond the uniform. They deserve our respect and support. #LestWeForget #MilitaryMentalHealth

Coming out takes many forms. I told millions about my HIV status not my sexuality. On #NationalComingOutDay, let’s remember that everyone’s path is different. Hear my story with @LadyVeda & @Robbie_Lawlor on the @PozVibePod tr.ee/PozVibePodcast #LGBTQ #HIV #LeadInBeing

Advocating for change takes persistence, and mental health plays a big part. Emotional control can only get us so far. Let’s face our feelings and break the stigma together. Hear more of my journey with Veda & Robbie on tr.ee/PozVibePodcast #MentalHealthMatters #HIVAdvocacy

Epic! Something everyone needs to hear! @mynamessarah3, your outlook on life should be made a standard issue (subject to the procurement process and stores availability!) In my world, we would say #BeMoreJill, if you know you know, but this time #BeMoreSarah

This #TimeToTalkDay, break the silence and challenge the #stigma. These photos show two occasions I should have made more #TimeToTalk. Your greatest strength is the ability to talk—share it, listen, and let's make life better together. @MindCharity #BreakTheSilenceBreakTheStigma

📍 Found this close to home in Portsmouth - #HIVTestingWeek! And guess what? The #ITEST hoodie was a coincidence on the way to the vet with Bertie 🐶 📆 5 Feb, get tested and know your status Undetectable = Untransmittable. #UequalsU 👉 order your test kit, visit @startswith_me.

I was one of them. A bike, a bottle and a brick wall in the right place at the right time meant it wasn’t too late for me. From this to supporting @THTorguk in their success, working with an incredible team and making a step closer to no new transmissions by 2030. #HIVTimesUP
We did it! The Government will expand opt-out HIV testing to 46 more hospitals across England – millions more people will now be tested for HIV when they go to A&E. Alongside our incredible partners and supporters, we campaigned hard for this and won. Here’s how we did it.

Epic achievement @thehivpodcast; the podcast I recommend to anyone regardless of #HIV knowledge who likes a laugh. You can’t beat the realness of the Dr (with robes) of HIV History and the Condiments Kraken. Confused? Have a listen it will make sense and you will be hooked.
