HIV Action Plan for England,
2025 to 2030: equality impact assessment
Details
The HIV Action Plan 2025 to 2030 sets out how the
government will enable every level of the healthcare system to
work together to engage everyone in prevention, testing and
treatment, tackle stigma, and reach our ambition to end new HIV
transmissions by 2030. The plan sets out a clear framework for
action, focusing on 5 core priorities:
- Prevent - prevent HIV transmission through equitable access
to HIV prevention services.
- Test - scale up testing to reduce transmission and protect
people's health.
- Treat - rapidly linking and retaining people living with HIV
in care, ensuring individuals can live healthy lives and cannot
pass it on.
- Thrive - address stigma and improve the quality of life for
people living with HIV.
- Collaborate - strengthen the healthcare system to improve HIV
and wider sexual health.
These priorities cover a range of actions, including:
- commissioning a new national HIV Prevention England programme
- continuing the success of the blood-borne virus emergency
department opt-out testing programme
- expanding digital provision of HIV testing through a trial in
the NHS App
- commencing the first ever national retention and
re-engagement initiative
The progress of the plan will be assessed annually through the
monitoring and evaluation framework, developed by the UK Health
Security Agency (UKHSA). This will include a specific focus on
measuring progress for 5 populations where inequalities persist
and risk remains high.
We have also extended Professor Kevin Fenton's role as
government's chief advisor on HIV, to drive progress towards our
2030 ambition.
