Positively UK is the leading provider of peer support for people living with HIV. We strongly believe that people who understand the implications of living with the condition are best placed to develop and deliver services and policies that effectively support the community. Founded by two people living with HIV, today all our front line staff and volunteers are themselves HIV positive. We support Over 1,400 individuals living with HIV each year, enabling them to make informed choices around their health and social care, live well with HIV, and achieve the best physical, emotional and social well-being. We do this through the provision of one-to-one support, group work and information. Our work complements clinical care, and our peer workers are integrated into clinics and prison across London.
In 2013 we published a review of support for people living with HIV in prison entitled HIV behind bars: http://www.positivelyuk.org/published_reports.php
