Zero 2030

Working Towards Zero
HIV Transmissions by 2030

At The Sussex Beacon, we support the global goal of ending new HIV transmissions by 2030 – a target set by the United Nations and shared by cities and organisations around the world. With continued progress in testing, treatment, education, and prevention, this goal is achievable.

Reaching zero transmissions requires a joined-up effort across healthcare, voluntary services, and communities. Medical advances and improved access to care have already had a major impact, but there is still more to do.

What Does “Zero HIV Transmissions” Mean?

Achieving zero new HIV transmissions by 2030 means ensuring no one acquires HIV through preventable routes.

This involves:

Increasing access to free and regular HIV testing

Ensuring timely access to antiretroviral treatment for everyone diagnosed with HIV

Promoting awareness of U=U (Undetectable = Untransmittable)

Expanding access to PrEP (pre-exposure prophylaxis), a highly effective prevention method

Tackling HIV-related stigma and discrimination through education and community engagement

People living with HIV need compassionate, person-centred care that supports their physical health, emotional wellbeing

How we are taking Action

The Sussex Beacon is working collaboratively with our Fast Track City partners to make this vision a reality through:

Engaging with Advocacy and policy change, pushing for better healthcare access and anti-stigma initiatives.

Promoting access to free and accessible HIV testing to ensure early diagnosis and treatment.

Providing support for people living with HIV, ensuring they receive the care they deserve, whether that be through peer mentoring, casework support or emotional support.

Supporting education and awareness programs to help people understand how to prevent transmission.
