Louder for those at the back. 📢 No, #HIV is not just a "gay man's disease". #HIV can affect anyone, at anytime. Even if you don't *think* you're at risk, if you're sexually active, you should #GetTested. Call 0800 137 437 for free and confidential advice.

Each new #HIV diagnosis adds a lifetime cost to the health service budget of around £400k. We need opt out testing to be implemented urgently to allow us to end new HIV diagnoses in #NI by 2030.

We’re calling for ⁦@healthdpt⁩ Minister ⁦@mikenesbittni⁩ to introduce the same opt-out #HIV testing which is shown to save lives in other parts of UK. One simple move could end new HIV diagnoses in NI. What are we waiting for?! bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cy07…

We are extremely proud to lead #fasttrackcities in Northern Ireland along with @publichealthni. We’re thrilled that @belfastcc @dcsdcouncil and most recently @lisburnccc are all on board. Who’s going to be next? @nmdcouncil 👀 When we all pull together, Northern Ireland CAN be the first region in the world to reach zero new HIV cases by 2030. So who else is with us? Calling NI councils: get in touch to get involved 🙌🏼

Great to see @micky_murray taking part. Positive life is the only HIV charity in N.I and only one working towards the Fast Track Cities Initiative. We all need to do our bit to work towards the 2030 target of no new cases of HIV.
