<p>In April 2016, Public Health England (PHE) commissioned a four-year national HIV
prevention programme for most at-risk populations, for men who have sex with men,
Black African communities and other groups, in whom there is as higher or emerging
burden of infection. To reduce levels of HIV-related stigma within affected communities
and more widely, the programme manages a national partnership of multi-sector organisations
across England to deliver a range of information and resources that will improve the
proportion of individuals in the most at-risk populations who are able to make safe
and sustainable sexual health choices. These resources can be viewed at the following

through innovative, community-led interventions. This has included the reduction of
HIV related stigma as a priority since 2015. This fund can be viewed at the following
