CAPC Webinar: Ending new HIV cases by 2030? Novel interventions from Bristol research

REGISTER FOR THIS EVENT

About this FREE event

The Government has set a goal of zero new HIV cases in England by 2030. To achieve this goal there is a crucial need for better access to HIV prevention, testing and treatment. 

This involves increasing access to Pre-exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP), a pill that reduces the risk of getting HIV. 

This also requires improving access to HIV testing, as reducing the number of people living with undiagnosed HIV provides access to treatment which saves lives and reduces HIV to undetectable levels so the virus cannot be passed on.

The webinar will showcase the research that is taking place in Bristol in a range of settings to help meet the government’s HIV elimination goal.

This will include:

  • An evaluation of community outreach and STI testing clinics in GP practices as part of the Common Ambition Bristol programme addressing HIV inequities in partnership with African and Caribbean Heritage communities.
  • Literature review and qualitative findings examining the barriers and facilitators of community pharmacy PrEP delivery for pharmacists and community members and development of a pharmacy pilot.
