PrEP is a course of tablets that protects against HIV. It can be taken by people who are at risk of getting HIV. For example, if their partner has HIV. 

Find out more about PrEP 

Several things are stopping people at high risk of HIV from accessing PrEP. These include:

  • lack of awareness about how to get it and who can take it 
  • stigma and fear of judgement from others
  • not wanting to talk to healthcare professionals 

The Stay PrEPared campaign is all about promoting PrEP as part of a healthy sexual lifestyle. It uses a chatty, non-judgemental tone to break down barriers.

Design resources include:

  • logos 
  • leaflets and flyers 
  • social media posts
  • GP screens
  • email signatures
  • posters and roller banners
  • mirror stickers
  • digital screen designs

Sign the pledge to end HIV stigma and support the cause to stop HIV transmissions in the UK by 2030.

You and your colleagues have the power to help the cause, inspire change and vocalise support.

With your help the UK could be the first country to eradicate HIV.

Derbyshire Integrated Sexual Health Service has co-created the HIV pledge with community partners, and hope that people and organisations will commit their support to help achieve the zero transmissions of HIV by 2030.

What is the HIV pledge?

Together we can reduce the stigma around HIV, and achieve zero transmissions of HIV by 2030.

It’s time to change the perception of HIV, to increase awareness of this long-term condition and commit to:

  • understanding the importance of why early testing and treatment is good for people’s future health
  • improving education and staying up to date with facts about HIV
  • making sure we put our people and patients first. Talk openly and compassionately about prevention, testing, treatment and support
  • finding out about the local sexual health service offer
  • challenging stigma, attitudes, and discrimination
  • raise awareness by participating in/promoting World Aids Day and national HIV testing week
  • having HIV champions in your organisation (see editable pledge templates for ideas).

How do I make a pledge?

There are a couple of ways that you and/or your organisation can get involved:

  • Sign up to the pledge as an organisation, education setting or commissioning group.
  • Sign up as an individual and act as a champion in your organisation or place of work (this includes voluntary sector groups, education settings and organisations).
