So happy to see this go live, was a lovely final project to work on before I left THT. Janusz, Annemarie, Rebecca and Roland were all amazing to work with, as was everyone involved in the co-production of the training in its early stages.

Our final abstract for the day is from Darren Knight of George House Trust on Addressing and challenging HIV stigma in the beauty industry. GHT decided to survey people living with HIV’s experiences of stigma when seeking beauty services, including tattoos. #BHIVA24

A high proportion of survey respondents were asked about their HIV status in a pre-treatment consultation. Around half were refused treatment after sharing their HIV status. Work needs to be done to improve knowledge around HIV within the industry. #BHIVA24

Results from a survey by George House Trust Darren Knight - almost 3/4 people with HIV had seen HIV mentioned on the pretreatment consultation form for beauty & cosmetic treatments. Unnecessary & stigmatising! They've developed accredited online training 👏 #BHIVA24
