World AIDS Day, held annually on December 1st, is a vital opportunity for people around the globe to unite in support of those living with HIV, remember those who have died as the result of AIDS-related illnesses, and spread awareness about the importance of HIV prevention, testing, and treatment.

This page is filled with valuable resources to help you get involved and show your support. You'll find everything you need here—from red ribbons to posters, training sessions and information about HIV prevention strategies like PrEP and U=U. Join us in spreading the message of solidarity, awareness, and hope this World AIDS Day.

This short survey explores people’s attitudes towards HIV testing — what encourages or prevents people from testing, and how we can make testing feel easier, more accessible, and stigma-free.

Your feedback will help us understand how we can improve HIV awareness and support across our communities. The survey is anonymous and will only take a few minutes to complete.

We’ve created a new, confidential community at The Eddystone Trust to support people who are new to the UK and living with or affected by HIV.

(Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis) PrEP is a medication that can be taken daily to prevent HIV transmission. It's highly effective for people at high risk of HIV exposure. To learn more about whether PrEP is right for you, talk to your
local sexual health clinic.

When taken as prescribed, PrEP reduces the risk of getting HIV from sex by about 99% (NHS).

If a person living with HIV is on effective treatment and achieves an undetectable viral load, they cannot pass the virus to their sexual partners. This concept is known as U=U, which stands for 'Undetectable = Untransmittable.' This means that with consistent treatment, HIV becomes untransmittable through sex.

By destigmatising HIV and encouraging people to test and access treatment, we can help improve the landscape for people living with HIV and prevent late diagnoses.

They say in life, there's no such thing as a free condom. Well, that's not strictly true because this service is 100% free. However, if you are able to make a donation (however small) to help keep this service free. Your support allows us to provide condoms to those who need them most for a longer time.
