Ending AIDS by 2030 means removing discriminatory laws, funding community-led organizations, and protecting people's rights in health systems.
The evidence is clear.
Now it's time to act. #ZeroDiscriminationDay #PeopleFirst

A white rectangular frame surrounds the person, and bold white text below reads “PEOPLE FIRST,” accompanied by the #ZeroDiscrimination logo
Around the world, people living with and affected by HIV still face stigma and discrimination in healthcare centers, workplaces and communities.
This blocks access to HIV services and put lives at risk.
Putting #PeopleFirst is the only path to #ZeroDiscrimination.

A very handsome picture of me, dressed up for a posh do, when I was 30.
A recent pic of me taken by my friend Paul Madeley. I’m wearing a bright teal suit, a smile and a moustache.
This week is #HIVTestingWeek.
I tested positive for HIV in 1998, when I was 30.
Now I take one pill a day and that keeps my HIV suppressed.
It also means there is NO RISK of passing on HIV during sex.
If I hadn’t tested I would not be alive today.
Testing saves lives.
