Let’s get to zero HIV: we have all the tools we need

In 2018 Public Health England announced the UK had successfully surpassed the ambitious UNAIDS 90-90-90 goals ahead of the 2020 target:

  • 92% of all people living with HIV in the UK know their HIV status.
  • 98% of all people with diagnosed HIV infection are receiving antiretroviral therapy.
  • 97% of all people receiving antiretroviral therapy are virally suppressed.

Following this breakthrough, the government is now committed to ending new HIV transmissions in the UK by 2030. Thanks to medical advancements, robust systems and the advocacy efforts of activists since the 1980s, this goal is well within our grasp.

Are you a health professional looking to update your knowledge of HIV prevention strategies? Do you want to learn how the UK achieved 90-90-90 and find out how we are going to get to zero HIV by 2030?

  • Future directions: Where do we go from here?
