Thank you, @DavidMundell, for leading the vital discussion on achieving Scotlandâs goal of ending HIV transmission by 2030. As Dr Scott Arthur MP (Edinburgh South West) đđđč highlighted, from opt-out testing to tackling stigma, we must ensure no one is left behind. #GetToZero đȘ buff.ly/42UBpnt

Thank you to Pam Duncan-Glancy MSP & Martin Rhodes for joining our Chief Executive, Grant Sugden & THT Scotland yesterday. It was fantastic to highlight the vital services we both provide across Greater Glasgowâimproving access to testing, PrEP, HIV care, and support. #GetToZero


We were delighted to attend #ScotLab25 to talk about the steps needed to end new HIV transmission by 2030. It was great to be joined by Shadow Health Minister Paul Sweeney & our partners THT Scotland to discuss expanding HIV testing, improving access to PrEP, & tackling stigma.


We were delighted to see Anas Sarwar & cross-party MPs/MSPs calling for investment in opt-out HIV testing in A&Es. This vital tool has already identified hundreds of undiagnosed cases elsewhere in the UK. If weâre serious about ending new HIV cases by 2030, we need urgent action.



đą Big news from @ScotGov: Opt-out testing for blood-borne viruses will be rolled out in A&Es across NHS Lothian and NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde. At Waverley Care, we strongly welcome this news; early diagnosis saves lives and is key to achieving our goal of zero new HIV transmission by 2030.





HIV services are at a crossroads! Michael Payne MP explores the new HIV Outcomes UK report and why urgent funding for the voluntary sector is essential if weâre serious about reaching zero new HIV transmission by 2030. đbuff.ly/ZMBf4Ub


Yesterday, with Terrence Higgins Trust and Paul Sweeney, we hosted a roundtable at Scottish Parliament, supported by Gilead Sciences, on the progress of Scotlandâs HIV Transmission Elimination Plan & opt-out testing in emergency departments. Together, weâre working to #GetToZero by 2030.
