Through better prevention, detection and treatment, Health Secretary Matt Hancock has pledged to end transmission of HIV in England by 2030.
Reaching the goal of “no new infections” by 2030 would make England one of the first regions to reach the UN’s zero infections target.
The work, which will be focused on prevention, will be supported in funding by £600,000 from Public Health England’s HIV Prevention Innovation Fund.
The funding will go towards 13 innovative schemes aimed at reducing the risk of people getting HIV and reducing stigma.
