Gwent Commits to Ending New HIV Transmissions and Breaking Stigma as it Becomes a Fast Track Region

Public Sector Senior Leaders in Gwent have officially signed a pledge to become a Fast Track Region, launching Fast Track Gwent — a bold commitment to end new HIV transmissions in the region by 2030, and reduce HIV stigma across Gwent.

Signed by leaders at the recent Gwent Public Services Board meeting, by joining the global Fast Track Cities initiative, Gwent becomes part of a growing network of cities and regions across Wales and the world working to stop new HIV transmissions by 2030  through increased testing, access to support services, and — critically — challenging the harmful stigma that still surrounds HIV.
