On #WorldAIDSDay we remember and show our support to the millions affected by HIV and AIDS.

We’ve taken huge strides in treating HIV/AIDS over the past few decades, but we must and are going further.

Under our plan, published today, we will achieve zero new HIV infections and deaths from HIV/AIDS by 2030. We are also increasing funding which will scale up testing, as well as increasing access to PrEP and other prevention programmes.

We're doing more to fight the stigma too. The Armed Forces have committed to ensure being HIV+ is no longer a barrier to entry for those wishing to serve in uniform. This reflects the fact that HIV+ people on treatment live full and active lives.

HIV has not gone away. It continues to have an impact on the lives of many people, and it can affect anyone. But we’re fighting the virus, we’re fighting the stigma, and our plan makes big progress towards making HIV history.
