The Martin Fisher Foundation was founded in 2015 to take forward the work of Professor Martin Fisher. We continue to promote Martin's ethos of treating people living with HIV with dignity, compassion and respect, and are developing new strategies for effective HIV prevention, treatment and care. We are working together towards ZERO new HIV infections, ZERO HIV-related deaths, and ZERO HIV stigma in Brighton and Hove. We have a unique opportunity to eliminate HIV within the next generation. We know around 1: 10 people with HIV are unaware of their infection and may be unknowingly passing on the infection to others. If we can increase HIV testing across the city and reach the undiagnosed proportion, then they can start effective treatment which will completely supress the virus. Once supressed, or undetectable, the virus is untransmissble.

The Martin Fisher Foundation is a partnership of people living with HIV, community representatives & clinicians. The charity's aim is to end the HIV epidemic and eliminate HIV stigma by 2030. With effective treatment, HIV is like any other long- term medical condition. One tablet a day can suppress the virus and stop it from being passed on. People diagnosed early with HIV and started on treatment can remain fit and well, and live as long as anyone else.

The celebration and launch of the Martin Fisher Foundation takes place on 14th September 2015, 14:00–16:15 at Brighton Dome. To include a tribute film, Towards Zero, a call to action led by Baroness Gould and Professor Jane Anderson, personal pledges and music. 16:15–18:00: opportunity for meeting old and new friends at the foyer bar.
