Bristol qualified for Fast Track Cities designation at the end of 2019, and Mayor Marvin Rees signed the declaration in a public ceremony on 30th November. He said
“We will work to increase HIV testing in our under-served and marginalised communities, reduce our late diagnosis rate and tackle HIV-related stigma and discrimination across the city. By adopting the Fast Track Cities Initiative’s principles in Bristol and pioneering a One City approach to tackle health inequalities, I am confident that we can rise to this challenge and end new HIV infections by 2030.”
