DHSC: PCP: National HIV and STI Prevention Programme 2026

Tender description

THIS IS A PRELIMINARY MARKET ENGAGEMENT The principal focus of the programme is the delivery of HIV and STI prevention interventions to key target groups, in whom the evidence demonstrates a higher or emerging burden of infection, at a national, regional and local level. The programme is critical in ensuring that people are aware of how HIV and STIs are transmitted, how they can protect themselves, how and where to have an HIV and STI test and developments in HIV prevention and treatment. Key objectives: A. Improve awareness, knowledge, understanding and uptake of combination HIV and STI prevention interventions among populations most affected by HIV and STIs B. Increase HIV and STI testing to reduce the undiagnosed population and proportion of late diagnoses C. Reduce levels of HIV related stigma, including within different communities, self-stigma and structural or institutional stigma D. Enhance collaboration across national, regional and local partners and multi-sector organisations.
