Did you know that kissing doesn’t spread HIV?
When we surveyed young people, we found that 1 in 3 weren’t sure whether you could get HIV from kissing. What’s more, over two thirds had not received any information on HIV testing.
This World AIDS Day, use our teaching resources to help educate young people about HIV transmission, and raise money for National AIDS Trust so that we can help educate future generations about HIV.
We have lots of free fundraising materials that you can order and resources that you can use to educate your students.
You can order:

Why should you join us for World AIDS Day?
Over 105,000 people are living with HIV in the UK today.
Advances in medicine mean that people on effective HIV treatment cannot pass the virus on, but late diagnoses remain high and worryingly, only 45% of people can identify all the ways in which HIV is transmitted.
Stigma and discrimination can be a daily issue for people living with HIV. A recent stigma survey showed that 13 per cent report avoiding visiting the GP because they feared being treated differently and 21 per cent of gay men living with HIV report they have been discriminated against in work.
Troublingly 18 per cent of those surveyed report they’d had suicidal thoughts in the past year.
We’ve come a long way – but there’s still much work to do! Join us to raise vital funds so we can continue to fight discrimination, raise awareness and improve the lives of people living with HIV.
