The reality of HIV today is vastly different from the past, yet much of the public hold outdated beliefs about HIV. That’s why it is so important for the stories of people living with HIV to be heard by wider audiences through print, radio and TV.
Previous press coverage
We have worked with a variety of publications to tell the real life stories of people living with HIV and hepatitis C. We have also assisted on several think pieces and opinion articles.

- Working towards a world without HIV, The Herald
- It’s time to tell a new story of HIV, The Scottish Sun
- Opinion: Hepatitis C is so stigmatised that I didn’t want to go on living, The Press and Journal

Current events
We are also always happy to comment on relevant political events and affairs relating to HIV, hepatitis C and sexual health.
For example, on World AIDS Day 2022 our Policy and Campaigns Officer Anna Cowan spoke on BBC Radio Scotland about the newly announced HIV transmission elimination plan from the Scottish Government.
