Annie Lennox met with the Mayor’s Advisor on Health and Youth Opportunities Pam Chesters at City Hall in London yesterday, as part of a roundtable bringing together representatives of HIV organizations and people living with HIV.

The first to have taken place since Annie Lennox’s appointment as the Mayor’s unpaid London Ambassador for HIV, the aim of the roundtable was to begin developing a program of activity to tackle the challenges faced by people affected by HIV. Key issues they discussed were the promotion of positive attitudes towards sexual health amongst young people and the impact of stigma on whether individuals get tested or seek treatment.

Pam Chesters said: ‘This has been a very productive meeting, bringing together people with expertise and personal experience. With the majority of people living with HIV in the UK being in London – many of them undiagnosed – the Mayor wants to identify ways to address what is still a serious health and social issue as part of our overall plan to tackle health inequalities in the capital.’
