Coventry is proud to be part of the global Fast-Track Cities partnership that brings together our communities, local organisations, and health services to drive progress toward shared HIV goals, including reducing new infections, improving access to care, and eliminating stigma and discrimination.
This is a community effort, and everyone can play a part. By listening to people with lived experience and working closely with neighbourhood groups and residents, we’re creating a Coventry where HIV information is easy to find, services are simple to access, and support feels welcoming and visible.
Our aim is to build a more open, informed, and supportive city — a place where everyone feels valued and empowered to look after their health. This whole city approach helps us make sure no one is left behind.
We are proud to be an international HIV Fast Track City and are committed to working together to help end new HIV transmissions by 2030. Our focus is on reducing stigma and discrimination and improving the quality of life for people living with HIV.
