PRJ 959 - Fast-Track Cities Initiative - Public Knowledge & Attitudes Survey.

Fast-Track Cities (FTC) is a global movement to end HIV by 2030. London is already leading the way in diagnosis and treatment but is now aiming to be the first city in the world to end new cases of HIV. London wants to get to zero new HIV infections, zero preventable deaths and zero stigma by 2030, making sure everyone with HIV is living well.

Fast-Track Cities has engaged over 100 people and organisations on a plan to tackle HIV stigma and discrimination in the capital, starting with stigma in healthcare settings and internalised stigma.

London's FTCI has no current baseline data on the knowledge and attitudes of the public towards HIV in 2020 and therefore wishes to commission an organisation to manage and run a national survey with input from the UK HIV sector, to obtain this data for the benefit of all.
