To support delivery of the HIV Action Plan for England 2025-2030 locally and to help address the needs of older people living with HIV, Public Health Hertfordshire has produced a short 7‑minute animation on providing appropriate responses when supporting people living with HIV in social care settings, including residential homes. It also aligns with our commitment as an age friendly county.
Developed in partnership with Hertfordshire Care Providers Association, Sexual Health Hertfordshire, and with valuable feedback from people living with HIV, this animation was created to complement existing training and policies on safeguarding, discrimination, reducing stigma, and infection control.

Please circulate it to your relevant staff and teams to help increase awareness, confidence, and good practice. It would also be helpful to hear how colleagues are using the animation in their work.
