Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

On 26th November 2022, join Team Positively UK and run/walk with us in support of people living with HIV.

We’ve come a long way since the first recorded HIV/AIDS case. Nowadays, in the UK, we have access to effective HIV treatment, a normal life expectancy and most of us have an undetectable viral load, which means we cannot pass the virus on. Yet, the stigma surrounding our diagnoses is still a heavy burden for many of us, it can create incredible loneliness and isolation, affect our health, and form obstacles to access services, and to live well with HIV.

Peer support is recognised by health professionals, and valued by many people living with HIV, as an essential tool to learn to live well with HIV, and to overcome internalised stigma.

Positively UK delivers a range of peer support services so people can get information they need, connect with others also living with HIV, and feel equipped, confident, and fully supported in managing their physical, emotional and social wellbeing.

By supporting Positively UK you support people with HIV to live well with the virus, and to thrive.
