We're working in partnership with the Scottish Government on a new HIV stigma-reduction campaign: 'stigma is more harmful than HIV'.
This landmark campaign – the first on TV for 36 years – takes the topic of HIV to the Scottish public and provides them with insight into the stigma people living with HIV in Scotland face today. It also provides important messages on HIV transmission, treatment and care.
The campaign will be live on TV screens across Scotland and various other media throughout October and November 2023.

How we work
Our work in Scotland is underpinned by working with other partners where it makes sense and not competing with or duplicating services that already exist. Check out our partners at Waverley Care, Scottish Drugs Forum and Our Positive Voice Grampian.
