Strategically placed, making commuting buses easier.<br />Giuseppe Sollazzo, Alexandra Palace Hi Lynne,

Government believe the HIV/AIDS issues has been dealt with. This skews the understanding from the state for those who have been ill for many years and not had the benefit, when they were diagnosed, of the modern and newer drugs.

Normalising HIV as you say is vital but complex. I fight the stigma that faces me.

The key point is GET TESTED AS EARLY AS YOU CAN like any illness the sooner you treat it the better the long term outcome.

You may be interested in the MAC AIDS FUND survey on stigma – web links below. Nancy Mahon mentioned that maybe we had, as a community, been too upbeat about the positive messages concerning HIV/AIDS. This may explain the lack of Government Public Health Campaigns on this issue.

I often attend the APPG and hope to say "hello" to you in the future.

Best wishes & as you can see, I watch with interest.
