Leicester Pride
World AIDS Day on the 1st December is a chance for people to get involved, raise money, fight prejudice, improve education and for all communities to come together and say “HIV affects us all", regardless of age, gender, race, disability or sexual orientation.
This year Trade is running the BIG Picture campaign; a simple way for you to show your support for National HIV Testing Week (22-29 Nov). By adding your photo to the ever increasing BIG Picture you can pledge to take a HIV test between now and World AIDS Day! You can get involved with the fun by speaking to a Trade volunteer on an outreach session throughout November, or by popping along to the Trade offices! So, why not be part of the BIG Picture?!
The 22 – 29 November sees the second annual National HIV Testing Week (NHTW) come to Leicester, and the culmination of the BIG Picture campaign. Trade will be opening their Kwik Prick rapid HIV testing almost every day so there’s no excuse not to take a test and find out your HIV status within 20mins; even more reason to pull your finger out and get tested!
Our World AIDS Day LGB&T Community Red Ribbon Remembrance event will bring together the LGB&T community to reflect on how HIV has affected us all, and will be a chance for people to light a candle of remembrance for loved ones.
Trade Sexual Health will be supported by Sloanes, Dover Castle, LLGB&T Centre, Celts, and Splash sauna who will be holding special events across the city to raise awareness of HIV

Wear a Red Ribbon
The Red Ribbon is the international symbol of support for people living with HIV. Wearing a
red ribbon is a great way to raise awareness about HIV as well as to break down stigma and
prejudice, so make sure you get yours in time for World AIDS Day!
