World AIDS Day 2023

World AIDS Day is an opportunity to reflect on the progress that has been achieved so far in fighting the HIV epidemic, as well as how far we have come in terms of support - medical, and social - for people living with HIV. Join us for this panel exploring the work that remains to be done to fight stigma and discrimination, as well as understanding why celebrating World AIDS Day is important as part of reaching the goal of eradicating the transmission of HIV by 2030.

Terrence Higgins Trust

Diagnosed with HIV in 2006 after being infected by my ex-partner, my journey started Not knowing too much about HIV at the time I wanted to and understand what this virus was and what my life expectancy would be. After self-educating myself I realized HIV was a liveable condition.. I closed the door on a 25 year career in retail management and started to volunteer for the Terrence Higgins Trust. For the last 10 years I have been volunteering and working on the Positive Voice Project. We go into education workplace and the health care.to create awareness and understanding about HIV by talking about lived experiences. Working with the Terrence Higgins Trust press team I am able to do lots of media pieces in newspapers. I have also told my story in women’s magazines such as Best. And take a Break. I am proud to be part of the only Radio show dedicated to HIV in the UK The HIV hr on Radio reverb based in Brighton. Giving a voice to others living with HIV where many have not even disclosed their own status. Because my own experiences of HIV related stigma I want to make sure future generations don’t go through .this. As a mother myself I know only too well the self-stigma and shame my daughter went through at school I have dedicated my live to breaking down stigma and discrimination in all communities. Trying to change hearts and minds when it comes to HIV because at the end of the day HIV can happen to anyone.
