Welsh Government published a draft HIV Action Plan for Wales outlining five priority areas for action with the aim of eliminating new cases of HIV by 2030 and ensuring that those living with HIV are supported and do not encounter prejudice or stigma. The priority areas are:-
1. Prevention
2. Testing
3. Clinical Care
4. Living well with HIV
5. Tackling HIV-related stigma
The plan also outlines the ambition of establishing Wales as a Fast Track Nation building upon the success of Fast Track Cardiff & Vale.
The opportunity has been presented for the Authority to acknowledge the importance of responding to the Action plan and it’s ambition as well as outlining key areas of focus for inclusion. This includes elements around Education and issues specific to the need for targeted information and support for older people living with HIV
