A City Hall committee warns that London is off-track in meeting Mayor Sadiq Khan's 2030 goal to end new HIV cases. Significant progress has been made in support for individuals with HIV over the past 40 years, yet variations in diagnosis rates exist across different boroughs, particularly higher in central regions like Westminster. The mayor's office attributes funding issues to the prior Conservative government while pledging collaboration with the current Labour administration. The report urges the mayor to enhance focus on HIV within health strategies and expedite the construction of a memorial as a means to promote awareness and anti-stigma efforts.
The London Assembly's report underscores the urgent need for increased emphasis on the HIV epidemic, urging Mayor Khan to prioritize the issue in his Health Inequalities Strategy.
The committee's recent findings reveal that HIV diagnoses are tracking higher in certain central boroughs, indicating a systematic disparity in health outcomes across London.
