HIV - Resources & New Podcast Series for Primary Care

National HIV Testing Week is approaching (10-16 February), and we are pleased to share important resources developed in collaboration with HIV Prevention England to support increased HIV testing in primary care.

We appreciate your support in sharing these resources on behalf of HIV Prevention England and Fast-Track Cities London.

We also have an exciting new podcast series created in collaboration with primary and secondary care as part of the Fast-Track Cities Initiative (FTCI), focusing on HIV in primary care.

The series explores key issues such as HIV testing, reducing stigma, and integrating HIV management into GP settings—all aimed at improving the lives of people living with HIV (PLHIV) and enhancing primary care engagement.
