And what would an event be without a team photo! We’re delighted to have partnered with HPE @tht.org.uk to organise this wonderful day filled with new connections, insights, and amazing innovations around improving #PrEP access among marginalised communities.
One Voice Network
@onevoicenetwork.bsky.social
One Voice Network aims to drive health equality and improve outcomes for Black communities in the UK, particularly those affected by the HIV epidemic. The network provides a clear vision, strategic leadership, and a unique platform for Black communities.
The afternoon session is “Widening Pathways to PrEP Access”! We have four presentations from PrEP providers and researchers showcasing their pilot projects 🧵 1) Online PrEP provision in England - Will Howells, SH:24 1/4
Community innovation and insights session! What are VSCEs and clinicians doing? 🧵 1) Increasing uptake of PrEP access among underserved communities - Dr Hannah Roberts, Hitch Marketing
“Voices and Experiences of PrEP users from marginalised communities” presented by OVN’s Juddy Otti (#AfricaAdovacyFoundation) and Rev Jide Macaulay (#HouseOfRainbow) Lessons from 4 case studies and recommendations 👇🏽
A presentation from #PositiveEast’s Maxine Sabackic “Investigating the influence of healthcare provider communication and language reframing on HIV PrEP uptake among Black African and Caribbean women”
@ukhsa.bsky.social’s Natasha Ratna presenting on current #PrEP trends. A key question asked: “How are we defining PrEP need?” Is our current definition too rigid and our data collection not comprehensive enough to adequately paint the picture of PrEP need across marginalised communities?
We are in Birmingham today with #HIVPreventionEngland for our joint event “Improving PrEP Access Among Marginalised Communities”! The day is packed with some great presentations, research, and community insights which we’ll be sharing today. @tht.org.uk
This week, OVN and @nat.org.uk hosted a launch event for our report: “Understanding the challenges of Black people living with HIV accessing primary care”, part of our joint #UnheardVoices project. Thank you to our attendees; it was incredible to have you engage and support this vital work.🧵
We attended today’s @nat.org.uk-#HIVOutcomesUK- @appghiv.bsky.social event launching their report on the state of HIV VCSE sector. Juddy Otti #AfricaAdvocacyFdn spoke to the work of Black and women-led organisations who not only support people living with HIV but are driving innovation forward.
Meeting the specific challenges of people with multiple intersecting needs and inequalities is crucial in #GettingToZero. Juddy references the @onevoicenetwork.bsky.social #UnheardVoices report as key to delivering the #HIVOutcomes recommendations.
I wrote about the devastating impact that international aid cuts will have on the HIV sector globally for @the-independent.com “We cannot sit back and watch this humanitarian disaster unfold. We must act.” www.independent.co.uk/voices/labou...
I’m a doctor specialising in HIV – we should be very afraid of cuts to Aids funding
Hospitals will see a surge of people with Aids-related conditions that we should no longer see in this age of effective treatment, warns Dr Rageshri Dhairyawan

Proud to join #BHIVA2025 as attendees, chairs & presenters from our respective orgs! Our joint poster with @nationalaidstrust.bsky.social "Unheard Voices: Understanding the Experiences of Black People Living with #HIV in Primary Care" is recognised as one of @bhiva.bsky.social's highly commended!
So proud of #UnheardVoices and the recommendations we offer to stakeholders across the health care spectrum. There’s no simple solution to fee systemic issues + the other concerns respondents shared with us. We must be ready to work together for our community members living with #HIV!
Black people living with HIV still face barriers in #primarycare, from stigmatising experiences to digital exclusion. The #UnheardVoices report highlights these issues—and how we can build a more equitable system. Read the full report: bit.ly/ovn-unheard-...

“Real change and progress begin when we acknowledge where we can do better. Black African and Caribbean communities know what they need; it’s time for our decision-makers to act”, said @cganotakis.bsky.social, co-chair of @onevoicenetwork.bsky.social nat.org.uk/publicati...

National HIV Testing Week. OVN member organisations @africadvocacy @nazprojectlondon will be offering HIV testing stations throughout London, making it easier for everyone to get tested and know their status. Testing is quick, confidential. Let’s support each other, and prioritise our health! 💪🏽❤️
We must lead the conversations about our health outcomes, not only be involved in them. Our #UnheardVoices literature review explores inequality across four key themes, informing vital actions needed to address health inequities in Black communities living with #HIV in the #UK. onevoicenet.org
