World AIDS Day

Today is World Aids Day. This has particular resonance here in Brighton, since the city has the second highest prevalence of HIV in the UK. Despite this, however, we hear news that Unisex, at the University of Sussex, faces closure due to job cuts. Unisex provides a life-saving service, offering vital sexual health, alcohol and drugs advice to students at Brighton and Sussex universities. Risking its closure is shocking and short-sighted. I have written to the Vice Chancellor at Sussex to urge him to think again, and I'll be joining students at a meeting to discuss the campaign against the cuts on Friday.
