Positive Voices

Positive Voices consists of a team of volunteers who provide informative talks and education sessions to education, corporate, public sector and other audiences about their personal experiences of living with HIV.

Our trained speakers cover HIV prevention and safer sex messages and share their own experiences of living with HIV.

We can deliver talks in person, online or using a hybrid model.

HIV can affect anyone. 106,890 people are living with HIV in the UK (as of 2019), with 5,150 of these unaware that they have HIV.

Knowledge of HIV is often based on the AIDS crisis in the 1980s and 1990s rather than the realities of living with HIV in the 21st century.

Outdated information can mean people living with HIV can face prejudice and discrimination in educational settings, in the workplace and from their family and friends.
