HIV Outcomes

Making quality of life central to the UK’s HIV response.

The UK has some of the best HIV treatment outcomes globally, but many people with HIV still face barriers to a good quality of life.

Significant gaps exist in HIV prevention and care, especially for certain groups who are more likely to experience delayed diagnosis, lack of access to care, and poorer health outcomes. With half of people living with HIV in the UK now over 50, healthcare services need to better support those aging with HIV.

To address these issues and help end HIV transmission in the UK by 2030, HIV Outcomes UK was established in 2023.

Through partnerships, we focus on:

• Eliminating stigma in care: Ensuring all health and social care services are free from stigma and meet the needs of people with HIV.
• Enhancing care engagement and coordination: Providing equitable, accessible, and stigma-free HIV care for all.
• Supporting mental health needs: Ensuring people with HIV have access to suitable, stigma-free mental health care.
• Improving data and confidentiality practices in the NHS: Enabling integrated care, clear information, and data-sharing practices that protect patient privacy and reduce stigma.

National AIDS Trust serves as the secretariat for HIV Outcomes UK, which is funded by Gilead Sciences, ViiV Healthcare and MSD. The group is affiliated with HIV Outcomes at a European level.
