Peer support for people living with HIV
What is peer support?
Having the opportunity to talk to someone else living with HIV can be very helpful regardless of when someone received their HIV diagnosis. Peer support is when people share their own experiences and knowledge to support each other and improve wellbeing. This approach complements the support and care provided by your clinic team, by offering a safe space for open discussions to reduce feelings of isolation and increase a person’s confidence. For our patients living with HIV, please see the British HIV Association update on COVID treatments for people with HIV (bhiva.org).
