Positive Life

Don't forget...closing date to submit an application for our Information and Services Officer role is Monday 13th at 4pm.

£450,000 from the Health Transformation Fund has been allocated to Sexual Health, meaning that Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) will now at last be made available in Northern Ireland for those at high risk of exposure to HIV. This is not PrEP on demand but part of a wider programme that provides opportunities to increase awareness, information and education on safer sex, along with access to counselling and increased testing. It’s good news that PrEP has now been added to the support tools to prevent transmission of HIV in NI.

Just a gentle reminder for those who haven't got round to completing this survey.. we would really appreciate your support. (Our university colleague Emma, is undertaking a study into social attitudes, HIV awareness, and the correlations with HIV stigma in Northern Ireland) Also would be awesome if you could share - help us get a fuller local picture on this issue - thank you! https://dundee.onlinesurveys.ac.uk/social -attitudes-and-hiv…

Gentle relaxation on today at 2.30pm. These sessions are fun and light hearted and aim to help us cope positively with our day to day living. Suitable for all levels and abilities. You need to be a Positive life service user to attend these classes; if you are not and you are living with or affected by a positive HIV diagnosis give us a ring 02890 249268 and we can chat about our services.

Very happy to support our university colleague Emma, who is undertaking a study into social attitudes, HIV awareness, and the correlations with HIV stigma in Northern Ireland - please share and follow the link to help us get a fuller local picture on this issue - thank you! https://dundee.onlinesurveys.ac.uk/social -attitudes-and-hiv…
