About Wandsworth Oasis

Since its foundation in 1989, Wandsworth Oasis has provided support to – and challenged stigma towards – those living with HIV.

Using revenue generated by our nine charity shops located in London, as well as fundraising initiatives, we provide small and large grants to organisations providing direct support and prevention services to HIV positive individuals.

This powerful reel is a reminder of the importance of staying on top of your HIV medication. Why? Because Undetectable = Untransmittable.

That’s right, if someone has an undetectable viral load, they cannot sexually transmit HIV to others.

So let’s keep spreading awareness and breaking the stigma surrounding HIV💊💚

Let’s talk about the elephant in the room, the stigma surrounding HIV.

It’s time to break the silence and take action. Our future generations are counting on us to create a world without discrimination and judgment towards those living with HIV.

If we don’t act now, history will remember us as the ones who perpetuated this harmful stigma.

Let’s be on the right side of history and join the movement to #StopHIVStigma. Together, we can make a difference and create a more inclusive and accepting society.

BBC News Report! 
 Scientists have made a groundbreaking discovery, using the revolutionary Crispr gene-editing technology, they have successfully removed the virus from infected cells.  This technique, likened to molecular scissors, allows for the targeted removal of “bad” bits of DNA. 

 While there is still much more work to be done to ensure safety and effectiveness, this is a major step towards ridding the body of HIV entirely. 

Current treatments can only stop the virus, not eliminate it. But with this new development, the hope of a cure is within reach. 

The University of Amsterdam team, who presented their findings at a medical conference this week, remind us that this is just the beginning, and it will take time before it can be used as a cure for HIV.  As Dr. James Dixon from the University of Nottingham explains, there is still a long way to go before this technology can be applied to the entire body. 

 So while we celebrate this incredible progress, let’s keep in mind that there is still much more development and research ...

Prioritize your health!💊🩺💜

If you suspect that you may have been exposed to HIV, seek medical advice immediately. Remember, early detection is key in managing this virus and preventing serious illness. Don’t wait for 1-3 months to pass for a test, act now and get the help you need. 💊🩺💜

Let’s take charge of our well-being and stay on top of our health game.
