Baseline Magazine Out

posted: 12/07/2010

The latest issue of BASELINE magazine for people living with HIV is now out. You can read an online version on the web.
This issue has some interesting features and news on

• Microbicides and vaginal rings
• Stigma around HIV
• Real stories and experiences in 'Mylines'
• Encourages people who have not yet started any HIV treatment to consider joining the START study. This is a major international effort to decide when is the best time to start HIV treatment - when your CD4 count is 350 (as now), 500, 700, 900, or should people start HIV treatment as soon as you are diagnosed?

If you sign up now you would need to travel to Leicester, London, or Brighton - they would pay your travel costs. Next year some other UK clinics will offer the START study. 

Read about the advantages of joining the START study, and what it would mean on pages 14-16

• News on HIV treatments, hepatitis, global, UK and healthy living
• Hotline - arts and entertainment
• Starting HCV therapy
• Details about the BASELINE website launch

You can email them to ask for each issue of the pdf version to be emailed to you
