The PaSH partnership
The PaSH Partnership is a collaboration between BHA for Equality, George House Trust and LGBT Foundation.
The partnership delivers a comprehensive programme of interventions to meet the changing needs of people newly diagnosed with HIV, living longer term with HIV or at greatest risk of acquiring HIV. Medical advances now mean that HIV is a manageable long-term health condition when diagnosed early, but continuing levels of misunderstanding and a lack of up to date knowledge mean that HIV remains a highly stigmatised medical condition and infection rates continue to rise.
The PaSH Partnership believe that the work they deliver will be key to achieving Greater Manchester’s vision of ending HIV transmission within a generation.
