Welcome to African Health Policy Network
Skin Like Mine
Community-led HIV prevention for Black Heritage communities
Skin Like Mine is a community-led HIV prevention and testing programme delivered by One Voice Network.
Running from January to April 2026, the programme brings HIV testing, prevention information and supportive conversations into trusted, culturally relevant community spaces across London. Working through seven experienced community organisations, Skin Like Mine promotes regular HIV testing and prevention as part of routine self-care, reaching people who are often underserved by traditional services.
The programme is funded by Do it London in response to the findings of the Towards Equity Report, which highlighted persistent inequalities in HIV prevention access for Black Heritage communities.

AHPN supports sector statement on EHRC draft guidance and trans rights
African Health Policy Network is proud to stand in solidarity with trans communities and has joined leading HIV organisations in signing a collective statement in opposition to the Equality and Human Rights Commission’s (EHRC) draft Code of Practice.
The EHRC’s proposed guidance based on the recent Supreme Court ruling risks increasing discrimination against trans and nonbinary people. It undermines access to HIV and sexual health services and threatens decades of inclusive progress in HIV care. The statement, supported by over 25 organisations across the sector, affirms that trans people are welcome and central to our services and that any rollback in rights is both harmful and unacceptable.
We believe in the right to dignity, respect, and inclusive care for all.

What We Do
AHPN aims to improve the health and wellbeing of African descent people living in the UK who are disproportionately affected by long term health conditions such as HIV, mental health issues, diabetes, Cancer and others. We work with our Black communities to lessen the impacts of these inequalities and challenge intersecting issues of stigma, marginalisation, isolation, poverty, discrimination and racism - which in turn impact health outcomes.
