Promoting excellence in HIV and sexual healthcare

Influencing policy

MEDFASH draws on the learning from its projects and involvement with a wide range of stakeholders to influence policy at national and local level.

We participate in campaigns, respond to consultations and produce briefings often in partnership with other sexual health and HIV organisations.

BHIVA and EAGA position statement on the use of antiretroviral therapy to reduce HIV transmission: January 2013

Our Chief Executive is a member of the Expert Advisory Group on AIDS (EAGA) and co-author of a position statement developed by EAGA with the British HIV Association (BHIVA) on the evidence for HIV treatment as prevention. The statement is designed to help clinicians and health promoters translate the evidence and thus support patients to make an informed decision about starting treatment based on their individual circumstances.
