HIV-positive people living in London have been invited to contribute into an inquiry by the Greater London Authority (GLA) into the needs and experiences of HIV-positive individuals in the capital.
The views of HIV-positive people are being sought as part of a wide-ranging GLA inquiry into HIV in the capital. Written submissions to the inquiry were requested earlier this year, and the GLA’s health committee is proposing to hear oral evidence at three sessions in late 2003.
HIV-positive people are also being asked to participate in the inquiry through a series of focus groups.
Terrence Higgins Trust (THT), which offers HIV services across London, has been commissioned by the GLA to run the focus groups in November 2003. Further details can be obtained from Andy Cooper at THT on 020 7816 4654, or by emailing andy.cooper@tht.org.uk. A small fee is payable to people attending the focus groups, which will be held at THT’s offices in west and south London. Membership of the focus groups will be restricted to HIV-positive people living in London.
