Logos of the H.I.V. organisations calling for the E.H.R.C. guidelines to be withdrawn
#HIV organisations have come together to call for the guidelines to be withdrawn.

We believe they will not reduce inequality or protect everyone’s right to fairness, dignity, and respect.

As H.I.V. organisations we believe the E.H.R.C. draft Code of Practice is not fit for purpose and should be withdrawn. Picture of a trans flag.
Across the #HIV sector there are huge concerns on the impact for trans people of @EHRC consultation on updated services Code of Practice
It will increase discrimination, make services less inclusive, and lead to worse health outcomes.

We can't talk about mental health without talking about inequality. Inequality weathers our bodies and minds, and for so many in Global Majority and LGBTQ+ communities, and people living with HIV, the cost is devastating.
