Fast Track Cities: ending HIV, hepatitis and TB

Find out how Liverpool aims to end HIV, hepatitis and tuberculosis through the Fast Track Cities+ programme.

Liverpool became a Fast Track City in 2018. We’re committed to working towards a future where HIV, hepatitis and tuberculosis are no longer public health threats. By 2030, we aim to eliminate new HIV, hepatitis and tuberculosis infections, increase testing and improve access to treatment and care.

What is Fast Track Cities+?

Fast Track Cities+ is a global partnership of cities working to end HIV, viral hepatitis and tuberculosis.

In Liverpool, local government, NHS services, community organisations and people with lived experience work together to improve prevention, testing, treatment and support.

Our ambition

Liverpool is committed to:

  • ending new HIV transmissions by 2030
  • eliminating new Hepatitis B and Hepatitis C infections by 2030
  • achieving a 90% reduction in tuberculosis by 2035
  • reducing stigma and discrimination associated with HIV, hepatitis and tuberculosis

How Liverpool is delivering change

Our work focuses on making testing and treatment easier to access, raising awareness, reducing stigma and improving support for people affected by HIV, hepatitis and tuberculosis.

People facing poverty, homelessness, social exclusion or barriers to healthcare can be at greater risk of poorer health outcomes. By working with healthcare and community organisations as well as local residents, we aim to ensure everyone can access the care and support they need.
