I started beyondpositive back in August 2013, simply as a place for people living with HIV to share their stories and experiences.

Since then we’ve grown the site to include news content, producing education videos and helping our contributors to go to HIV conferences and events. We also run #PositivePubCrawls which bring people together in amazing ways - our next one is on the 23rd September (beyondpositive.org/events)!

Almost all of our funding comes from paypal donations, or from my own pocket - which I genuinely don’t mind as I think it’s worth it many times over.

But if you would like to help us keep the website running, make more video content, keep us running events, help give a voice to those with HIV, and enable us to help send people to conferences please consider making a donation - no matter how small.

I’m also fundraising at the same time for GMFA - find out more on their fundraising page: https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/positivelad
