The HIV Commission is an independent inquiry supported by Terrence Higgins Trust, National AIDS Trust and Elton John AIDS Foundation, to find ambitious and achievable ways to end new HIV transmissions in England by 2030. The Commission's goal has received cross-party support, and Labour Leader Sir Keir Starmer has backed the Commission's call for action in a video to mark World Aids Day and shadow minister Alex Norris wrote about how Labour will support the commission.
