HIV/AIDS: Health Education

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps he is taking to raise public awareness of Undetectable = Untransmittable (U=U) through the £4.8 million HIV Prevention England programme.

Answer

The Department is investing £4.8 million from 2026 to 2029 in the newly procured National HIV Prevention England Programme, which will be delivered by a consortium of the Terrence Higgins Trust and the Africa Advocacy Foundation.

One of the key aims of the programme is to improve awareness, knowledge, understanding and uptake of combination HIV prevention interventions, among populations most affected by HIV. This includes using local outreach and partnerships and digital and non-digital health promotion to provide consistent messaging and education to improve awareness and understanding about U=U.
