A new website to support people living with HIV has just been launched

The website allows people to watch video clips and listen to real patients as they talk about their experience of living with HIV. It has been developed by City University London, working with the DIPEx charity; Homerton University Hospital; the Centre for Sexual Health and HIV Research at UCL; Camden PCT; Oxford University and a number of community organisations.
To create the HIV website researchers at City University interviewed 50 people living with HIV from around the UK. The sample reflects the diversity of the HIV patient population in the UK and includes gay men as well as people from African communities.
Dr Damien Ridge, an experienced qualitative researcher conducted the interviews which explored the participants’ experience of HIV infection including their diagnosis, use of services, disclosure of their HIV status, stigma and discrimination
Their accounts are freely available as video and audio “clips” 24-hours a day on the new HIV website. These are supported by explanatory text, answers to frequently asked questions (FAQ), as well as signposts to support groups and other resources.
