Injectable PrEP will be transformative for our HIV response. It's highly effective and has the potential to reach those who are not currently accessing other HIV prevention. Read the full story on our website. https://tht.org.uk/news/nhs-roll-out-first-long-acting-injection-prevent-hiv

If you test positive for #HIV, treatment is highly effective, and most can expect to live a long, healthy life. Early diagnosis can be lifesaving, so please get tested regularly if you’re sexually active. Visit the NHS website to check your options: https://t.co/rvJOa6bo28 https://t.co/TxoVjMSA1n

Bringing @hivinteractions.bsky.social to the @nhivna.bsky.social annual conference #nhivna2025

Attending #nhivna2025 and hearing about the amazing work of smaller and rural clinics… size doesn’t always matter??

In #HIV services in the 80's and 90's we were used to talking about end of life care, but with effective medication we stopped. With an aging population we need to be considering 'advance care plans' again. Great talk at #NHIVNA2025 conference in Leeds

Stage is set for day three… psychological standards, HIV action plan in rural and urban settings, research and engagement… #nhivna2025

Great presentation from James from @nat.org.uk about the findings of the @hivoutcomes.bsky.social research on the financial crisis facing the #HIV voluntary sector, who provide an essential complement to clinical care, particularly in providing #PeerSupport. #NHIVNA2025

And we are off! NHIVNA2025 in Leeds w clone address by our Chair Linda Panton

#HIV voluntary organisations change lives every day. They urgently need investment and stronger partnerships with healthcare providers. Our Senior Policy Manager, James Cole, presented the findings from the HIV Outcomes report 'HIV Services at the Crossroads' at the @nhivna.bsky.social conference.

I'm so grateful and honoured to have been entrusted by the @nhivna.bsky.social Executive to be Chair of the #nhivna2025 conference. You will not find a more dedicated, passionate and empathic group of people as #HIV nurses. Sad to step down from the Exec, but looking forward to being a punter in '26

Huge pride in our Mildmay team at @nhivna.bsky.social Conference 2025 in Leeds! So impressed by Senior Staff Nurse Tsedey Alemayehu and Staff Nurse Olfa Sibanda, and our incredible friend Angelina Namiba, for their vital contributions to advancing #HIVCare. #NursingExcellence #MildmayHospital

Great opening session for day 2 of @nhivna.bsky.social, exploring the successes and challenges of opt-out ED BBV testing in Brighton, Blackpool, Nottingham and Leeds. Post diagnosis opt-out #HIV #PeerSupport not available in all sites yet, though. #nhivna2025

Day two underway, starting with opt out testing discussion… ground breaking for the testing of HIV & Hepatitis #nhivna2025 @nhivna.bsky.social

Day 2 of our annual conference is well underway. We kicked off with an excellent session on BBV opt out testing and now we are onto part 2 of the oral abstracts #nhivna2025

🎊 We’re excited to welcome you to the NHIVNA Annual Conference in Leeds this afternoon! We wish all of you travelling to Leeds a safe journey and we hope you all enjoy the conference. Best of luck to all those participating in the programme. Please tag us in your posts! #NHIVNA2025

The new #SexualHealth data from UKHSA highlights the vital importance of testing. However, inequalities remain for young people, gay, bisexual and men who have sex with men, and certain minoritised ethnic groups, something the Government must address. nat.org.uk/news/ineq...#SexualHealth
