25 years ago George House Trust sprang out of outrageous stigma and discrimination to fight for respect and rights of people living with HIV.
Continuing in this tradition, our one day National HIV Social Care conference was held on the 20th April at the Manchester Central Covention Complex.
‘Still Living With HIV: Building Together for Tomorrow’
Our conference focussed on
• planning for the future
• changing needs of people living with HIV
• the impact of the recession, the general election, the ageing population
• HIV related stigma
• positive prevention strategies.
