Health & Wellbeing

Pride London believes that the general health and well-being of LGBT Londoners is an important, but often overlooked issue. This campaign is about more than just sexual health and will focus on healthy living, healthy attitudes and proper access to services and information.  

The ban on gay men donating blood looks likely to be relaxed but we will be campaigning for full equality, as well as highlighting the rising incidence of undiagnosed HIV in the UK. Pride London will be raising awareness of these interlinked issues and will be demonstrating the ease and speed with which HIV testing can now be carried out, as well as the consequences of these two health issues. Pride London will also be highlighting the growing problem of suicide in the younger LGBT community.

What are we doing?

• Campaigning for equality for gay men donating blood
• Raising awareness of LGBT youth suicides
• Highlighting the ease and speed of HIV testing and the rise in HIV rates amongst certain sectors of the LGBT community
