Women have been overlooked in the HIV conversation for too long.
It’s time for change.
1 in 3 people living with HIV in the UK are women.i
This campaign aims to educate the public on testing and prevention, advocate for appropriate services & support, and empower women living with HIV to connect and create new possibilities.
Meet eight inspiring women who are putting women at the centre of the HIV conversation
“HIV doesn’t define you. There are supportive communities and resources out there to help you thrive and live your best life.”
“When you understand U=U*, you realise you can live your life. You can have a relationship, start a family and most importantly, be yourself.”
“Through effective treatment and being undetectable, you can live a happy and healthy life.”
“I wish all women understood that HIV can affect anyone, and that support is available for prevention and treatment.”

AWARENESS
Women need better access to accurate, clear information about HIV testing and prevention so they can make confident and informed decisions about their health.
“We’re mothers, we’re sisters, we’re lovers, we’re friends – we are just like everybody else.”
support
HIV care must be equitable and holistic, addressing testing, prevention, treatment and the unique needs of every woman.
“We can empower women to take preventative measures by prioritising their needs, values and well-being. Putting yourself first is key to true empowerment.”
community
Women need to feel confident seeking out community support to overcome barriers and access the care they deserve.
“It's time to make sure HIV prevention efforts reach and support everyone, regardless of race or gender.”
