HIV Living Project/Regional Unit
The HIV Living Project is concerned with the lived experience of people with HIV – issues such as employment, access to welfare, care and support services and our community’s involvement in social research.
About the HIV Living Project
26 May 2005 - 12:00pm
The HIV Living Project emerged out of a national consultation process with PLWHA organisations and people living with HIV/AIDS in 2000. Positive people identified that the area of HIV treatments was to be a priority for the organisation and that it was NAPWA’s role to take national leadership in this area. Positive people also pointed out that there were other matters to do with “HIV Living” that sat in a complementary relationship with medical treatment issues. In this process the development of a national HIV Living Project was authorised.
