When we talk about HIV prevention, the conversation often revolves around policies, medical breakthroughs, and statistics. All of these are important. But during a recent study visit to London, I was reminded that the most powerful tool in prevention is often something far simpler:\u202ftrust<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trust is what allows someone to walk into a clinic and ask for an HIV test. It\u2019s what makes a person feel comfortable asking questions about PrEP or talking openly about their sexual health or drug use. Without trust, even the best prevention strategies struggle to reach the people who need them most.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Through the\u202fSCOPE study visit<\/strong>, I had the opportunity to visit the\u202fAfrica Advocacy Foundation (AAF)<\/strong>\u202fin London, a community-led organisation working to improve health and wellbeing among African diaspora communities. What I experienced during that visit stayed with me long after I returned home to Sweden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because in many ways, the conversations happening in London felt very familiar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Working with Communities in Malm\u00f6<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I work in Malm\u00f6 as a\u202fCommunity Health Educator<\/strong>, focusing on HIV combination prevention and sexual and reproductive health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Much of my work involves engaging with communities that often face barriers when accessing healthcare and prevention services. These include migrants, sex workers, transgender people, gay and bisexual men, other men who have sex with men, people who inject drugs, and individuals involved in chemsex.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many people within these communities navigate stigma, discrimination, or structural barriers that make accessing healthcare more complicated than it should be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My role is partly about providing information \u2014 explaining HIV testing, treatment, and prevention tools like PrEP. But just as importantly, it\u2019s about creating spaces where people feel safe enough to ask questions and talk openly about topics that are often surrounded by silence or judgment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over time, I\u2019ve learned that prevention work is rarely just about health information. It\u2019s about\u202frelationships, trust, and understanding the realities of people\u2019s lives<\/strong>. That\u2019s why learning from organisations working with similar communities in other countries is so valuable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Visiting the Africa Advocacy Foundation<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The\u202fAfrica Advocacy Foundation<\/strong>\u202fis widely recognised in the UK for its community-driven approach to health promotion. Their programmes focus on HIV prevention, sexual and reproductive health, stigma reduction, and improving health literacy within African and minority communities. But what makes their work particularly powerful is that it is deeply rooted in the community itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many of the people delivering the programmes share cultural backgrounds and lived experiences with the communities they serve. This creates a level of connection and trust that traditional health messaging often struggles to achieve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During my visit, I joined a small community discussion about sexual health and HIV prevention. What struck me immediately was the atmosphere. The conversation felt open and relaxed. People asked questions freely. Experiences were shared honestly. Topics like HIV testing and prevention tools such as\u00a0PrEP\u00a0came up naturally in the discussion rather than being presented in a formal or clinical way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It didn\u2019t feel like a lecture or a workshop. It felt like a conversation among people who trusted each other. And it was clear that this level of openness didn\u2019t appear overnight. It was the result of long-term engagement, cultural understanding, and consistent presence within the community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As I listened to the discussion, I couldn\u2019t help noticing how many of the challenges being described sounded familiar. Stigma around HIV. Limited awareness of prevention tools. Cultural barriers to discussing sexuality and sexual health. These are challenges I see regularly in my work with migrant communities in Sweden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Three Lessons That Stayed With Me<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

1. Prevention Starts with Trust<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the strongest impressions I took from the visit was how central\u202ftrust<\/strong>\u202fis to prevention work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At AAF, trust has been built through long-term relationships with the community. Because of this, people feel comfortable approaching staff and volunteers to ask questions or seek support. This makes conversations about HIV testing, sexual health, or prevention tools like\u00a0PrEP\u00a0much easier to have.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was a powerful reminder that prevention is not only about sharing information. It\u2019s about creating the kind of relationships where people feel safe enough to talk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Peer Educators Make Prevention Real<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another thing that stood out was the role of\u202fpeer educators<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Community members themselves are involved in sharing information about HIV testing, treatment, and prevention. Because they come from the same communities, they can speak about these issues in ways that feel relatable and grounded in real life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One peer educator explained that sometimes sharing personal experiences can have more impact than statistics. When someone talks about their own journey with testing or prevention, it makes the information feel real and relevant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For communities that experience stigma or marginalisation \u2014 whether related to migration status, sexuality, gender identity, or drug use \u2014 this kind of peer support can be incredibly powerful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In many ways, this mirrors the peer-led outreach work we also use in Malm\u00f6. Seeing it in action in another context reinforced how important it is to continue strengthening these approaches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Community Organisations Can Bridge the Gap to Healthcare<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A third important lesson was the role community organisations can play in connecting people to healthcare services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AAF works closely with healthcare providers and institutions connected to the UK\u2019s national health system. These partnerships allow them to guide community members toward HIV testing, treatment, PrEP programmes, and sexual health clinics when needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For many people, community organisations are often the\u202ffirst point of trust<\/strong>. They can help people navigate healthcare systems that might otherwise feel unfamiliar, intimidating, or inaccessible. This kind of collaboration between grassroots organisations and health services is essential if prevention efforts are going to reach everyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bringing the Learning Back to Malm\u00f6<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Since returning from the study visit, I\u2019ve been reflecting on how these lessons can strengthen the work we do in Malm\u00f6.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One area I want to continue developing is\u202fpeer-led engagement<\/strong>\u202fwithin the communities we work with. Empowering community members to act as educators and advocates can help expand access to reliable information and reduce stigma around HIV.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m also thinking about how we can continue improving\u202fculturally responsive outreach<\/strong>, particularly when working with migrant communities where conversations around HIV, sexuality, or drug use may still feel sensitive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another priority is strengthening partnerships with healthcare providers and organisations working in sexual health and harm reduction. Strong collaboration makes it easier for people to move from information to actual access \u2014 whether that means testing, treatment, PrEP, or other support services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The visit also opened the door to new professional connections with the African Advocacy Foundation. I hope this exchange of ideas continues, because learning from each other across countries can make all of our work stronger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Looking Ahead<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

HIV prevention is most effective when communities themselves are placed at the centre of the response.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This visit reminded me how powerful community-led organisations can be in reaching people who might otherwise remain disconnected from healthcare systems. By sharing experiences and learning across borders, we can adapt new ideas and continue improving how prevention work is done locally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As I returned to Malm\u00f6, one thought stayed with me: When communities lead the conversation about health, prevention becomes more than information \u2014 it becomes something people trust.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
