A Framework for better living with HIV in the UK

Sigma research have been funded by Terence Higgins Trust to begin work on a framework we could use to improve the lives of people living with HIV in this country. The framework is now at the Public consultation draft stage.

What that means is that now is your oppurtunity to have your say in what's good and bad about the framework, and to make your comments and suggestions.

You can see the draft and get started here.

Could you share your experiences of living with HIV?

The Disability Discrimination Act (DDA) 2005 makes it unlawful to discriminate in the workplace against people with HIV.

The act states that in order to be protected individuals must disclose their status to their employer. However, HIV carries a stigma, that for some outweighs the protection the act endeavours to provide.

Please take part in this survey designed to determine to what extent HIV+ employees are disclosing to their employers.

At no time will you be asked to identify yourself. All responses will be treated in the strictest confidence and are for research purposes only.
