Positively UK, an HIV charity, warned it may close due to funding crises, having already shut its gay men's peer support group. CEO Silvia Petretti highlighted the emotional support provided and the uncertainty of short-term funding. Despite the UK government's efforts to end new HIV transmissions by 2030, funding for crucial services remains in jeopardy. The number of people receiving HIV care has peaked at 107,949, but stigma continues. As the charity approaches its 40th anniversary, concerns grow over future service viability due to financial instability.
Silvia Petretti, CEO of Positively UK, expressed concern that ongoing funding crises could force the charity to close, impacting vital support services for individuals with HIV.
