Aberdeen health bosses have launched a new action plan with the aim of making the Granite City free of HIV in the next 10 years.
The city council signed up to the fast track cities initiative last year as part of worldwide drive to stamp out the virus.
On Tuesday, members of the Aberdeen Health and Social Care Partnership’s integrated joint board will be asked to approve a new scheme to rid Aberdeen of HIV by 2030.
Measures put forward include offering free formula milk to mothers with the virus and improving access to testing facilities in the city.
In November it emerged number of HIV diagnoses in the north-east has fallen for the second year in a row.
NHS statistics cover January to September last year and show there were eight people diagnosed with the disease in the NHS Grampian area.
That compares to 12 the previous year and 24 in 2017.
In the last decade the highest number of people diagnosed with HIV in Aberdeen, Aberdeenshire and Moray was 35 in 2013.
