"Richard Angell OBE, Chief Executive of Terrence Higgins Trust, stated, 'The next intake of MSPs could be the generation that ends the HIV epidemic in Scotland. Scotland has an incredible history of leading the world in medical innovations - to be the first country in the world to this epidemic, and to do so without a vaccine or a cure, could be the incredible next chapter in that story.'"

Charities have called for resources like online prevention services and access to PrEP. With effective medication and testing, Scotland has the tools necessary to achieve this goal.
