(View all written questions)HIV remains a key priority for the Government, which has committed to ending new HIV transmissions within England by 2030. As such, the Government has committed to commissioning a new HIV Action Plan for 2025-30 which we aim to publish by summer 2025.
The Department, the UK Health Security Agency, NHS England and a broad range of system partners are working together to develop the new HIV Action Plan. The Department are also working with a range of external stakeholders including the voluntary and community sector, and hosting engagement sessions which aim to inform the development of the new Action Plan.
The five objectives of the plan will be to:
- ensure equitable access and uptake of HIV prevention programmes;
- scale up HIV testing;
- optimise rapid access to treatment and retention in care;
- improve quality of life for people living with HIV and address stigma;
- stabilise and support system enablers.
