Today is Zero HIV Stigma Day ❤️

Today is about uniting people and organisations to raise awareness of HIV-related stigma and its impact on individuals and communities.

This stigma includes negative attitudes, beliefs, and discrimination towards those living with, or supporting someone with HIV.

This stigma can significantly impact on people accessing HIV testing, treatment, care, and discussions around HIV prevention.

LSH has an experienced HIV care team who can support you to live well with HIV which includes discussing your treatment plan, access to regular testing and prevention options for s*xual partners.

So, we invite you to our event in support of Zero HIV Stigma Day, taking place on July 25th 🙌

Here are the details:

🗓️ Thursday 25th July
📍 The Hat Gardens
⏰ Between 4pm – 7pm

Did you know that you can still have FUN, whilst being safe? 👀

Which is why we are here to tell you how to stay safe with your partner(s) ❤️

Such as:

🛡️ Use contraception
Using a condom or other barrier methods reduce the risk of pregnancy and s*xually transmitted infections.

🧼 Maintain hygiene
Good personal hygiene before and after s*x can prevent infections and promote overall s*xual health.

🩺 Get tested
Regular testing provides peace of mind, helps you know your status, and allows you to be safe and responsible.

💬 Communicate openly
Discuss boundaries, preferences, and consent with your partner(s). Open communication ensures a comfortable and consensual experience for everyone involved.

🌊 Use lubrication
Lubrication can make s*x more pleasurable and, when compatible with condoms, reduces the risk of condom breakage.

✅ Be prepared
Carry condoms or keep them in a safe place. Being prepared provides reassurance for spontaneous moments.

If you would like to find out more, then we are only a phone call or a message away:

☎️ 07976406909 or 07976406912 or 07721880566
