Feedback from organisations

“Following the talk, the group were a lot more open minded and realised that it affects all sections of the community. For some people it was a big revelation to be in the same room as someone who is HIV positive. The group really appreciated the honesty of the speakers.”

“It was good for the group to actually meet people – it lowered the stigma. Not presuming you could tell. Clarity about routes of transmission and treatment.”

“It was nice to see some positive people who could speak positively about life”

"The personal testimonies were both very different, both extremely powerful"

"The speakers were very open and honest. I will be more aware of clients needs because of today’s session. It was an excellent session."

"I felt I gained useful information on a subject I knew little about and it was good to hear new points of view. It is apparent that people’s experiences are very different and unique and it is great to know there is support. I learned more about people’s feelings around HIV / AIDS and of ways of contracting HIV. Thanks very much."

"The speakers were fantastic, insightful, inspirational and realistic. Both speakers normalised living with HIV. Exploded the myths and perceptions of what it is like living with HIV"
