Black Londoners face unique challenges when it comes to HIV prevention – from stigma and structural barriers to unequal access to services. Over half of new HIV diagnoses in Black heritage people are made late, increasing health risks and onward transmission.

This inequity must end. The Skin Like Mine programme is designed to serve Black Londoners by breaking down barriers and ensuring everyone has the tools to protect their health.

Knowledge is power. Health literacy saves lives. So everyone needs to see themselves in health campaigns. 👉 Read Susan Cole’s powerful piece – and let’s take this energy into 2026: doitlondon.org/why-represent… 1/

Black women are too often ignored in HIV campaigns. Representation isn’t tokenism – it’s equity. Co-founder of @PhoenixHealthM explains why anti-racism and genuine inclusion must be at the heart of our work. 3/
Against a purple and blue background sits a quote from Susan Cole, Co-founder of Phoenix Health Movement reading: ...representation is not simply showing Black bodies, in HIV campaigns supposedly for us but not by us. Too often engagement seems tokenistic. We are asked to be photographed, share our “stories” but not our expertise... Meaningful representation is people from Black and other marginalised communities shaping campaigns at every stage, with genuine coproduction. Ideally, we should be leading campaigns.

As co-founder of Phoenix Health Movement, Susan Cole practices what she preaches. Her article for Do It London showcases representation done right – and why it saves lives. 👉Read the article here: Why representation matters in HIV campaigns - Do It London 4/4
Against a purple and blue background sits a quote from Susan Cole, Co-founder of Phoenix Health Movement reading: Representation also means financial equity. There can be deeper ethical failure in HIV campaigns. We are routinely asked to share our trauma and lend our credibility without fair financial compensation. Real representation means paying community consultants properly. Funding smaller community organisations who regularly struggle financially despite incredible expertise, adequately. Representation must include economic justice.

Against an orange and yellow background reads "HIV is both a personal and universal experience. Personal because we are all unique and have a different story to tell. Our identities vary and shape the multiple ways in which we belong... Universal because we all understand the impact of receiving an HIV diagnosis. We know the mixed feelings that come with sharing your status. We’ve been hurt by stigma and discrimination. We’ve become grateful for the treatment we receive." This quote is by Jose Carlos Mejia Asserias

We’re lucky to live in a time where HIV treatment means long, healthy lives. But late diagnosis can still impact your health. The fix? Test to know your status. It’s free, quick & simple. Do it at least once a year for peace of mind. 👉 brnw.ch/21wXYhL #WorldAIDSDay
