Free Online Webinar

Ageing Lifestyle in Blacks and Asians (ALIBSA), in collaboration with Common Ambition Bristol and the Lagos State AIDS Control Agency (LSACA), is pleased to invite you to a powerful and timely free online webinar focused on cross-border collaboration in HIV awareness, prevention, and stigma reduction.

This international session brings together perspectives from the United Kingdom and Nigeria, creating space for open dialogue, shared learning, and collective action toward building HIV-free generations.


📌 About the Webinar

HIV remains a significant public health issue, particularly within Black and Asian communities, where silence, stigma, and misinformation often create barriers to prevention, testing, and care. This webinar seeks to break that silence, encourage honest conversations, and strengthen partnerships across borders.

By drawing on experiences and strategies from both the UK and Nigeria, the session will highlight how community-led approaches, culturally sensitive interventions, and collaborative policies can drive meaningful change.


🎯 Key Themes & Objectives

Participants can expect discussions around:

  • Breaking stigma and silence surrounding HIV in Black and Asian communities
  • Cross-cultural and cross-country perspectives on HIV prevention
  • Community engagement strategies that work in the UK and Nigeria
  • Building sustainable pathways toward HIV-free generations
  • The role of collaboration between grassroots organisations, public health agencies, and communities
