The words we use matter.

Learning how to talk about HIV helps create safer, more supportive conversations. The Brunswick Centre - Kirklees Calderdale has some brilliant training sessions around HIV!

Only a couple of days left for HIV testing week this year and as we head in to the weekend taking the time to realise just how far treatment has come is worthwhile, not only do we have extremely effective treatment for HIV but PrEP and PEP are also vital tools in reaching the Goal of no transmissions by 2030.

We might be over half way through HIV testing week but knowing your status is important anytime so accessing testing and taking control is a brilliant way of taking care of your health and well-being.
