People living with HIV often internalise the negative ideas they hear about the virus. This takes a heavy toll on their mental health and self-image. Please watch this @bbceastenders clip to see just how damaging stigma can be. #WorldMentalHealthDay.


A new quilt project is happening to give those of us living with HIV - a chance to share our stories co-hosted by @SavingLivesUK supported @BritishHIVAssoc @peers_positive @BirminghamPride, are you HIV & want to take part info contact me !

We LOVE LOVE LOVE this campaign from @caseyhouseTO! ♥️ 🎵 HIV related stigma has no place in medicine in 2024. ✋ 🛑 Ask yourself, is Stigmavir right for you?

The little charity that could. Panel from a @GarryMarkJones quilt telling the story of @savinglivesuk, in which my and @docstevetaylor's initials sit next to the year we first rode out. With the help of many, SL's still doing what it says on the tin. (Today at @britishhivassoc)

Congratulations to all staff and volunteers, past and present, at @switchboardLGBT on reaching 50 years at the frontline of LGBT+ support. You've always been a vital resource, including as a lifeline for those affected by HIV and AIDS since the 1980s. Thank you for all you do!

On this day, 50 years ago, Switchboard took its first call. Switchboard owes its existence to the unwavering dedication of countless volunteers spanning the past five decades who have had over 4 million conversations in that time.
