@A myHIVteam Member, I find more information on HIV on the European sites than I do on the United States sites and that is just sad. We used to be leaders, now we are followers.

Another reason I would have doubts that HIV has "disappeared"!

A brilliant read (for me) - the Royal London was where I was diagnosed and treated for many years, before moving to Brighton. I’ve seen firsthand at work how some staff are with positive patients, their findings sadly don’t surprise me. Let’s hope they can get a new model rolled out throughout the country with a dual-speciality role.
The linked article (The Silver Clinic) was quite enlightening. This is how much of my treatment is dealt with, on an MDT approach - and good to know that as it is at my hospital, and being a proud 50, I can be referred if necessary! 😆
