HIV Awareness Training - in person

This is an in-person event providing the dedicated space and time to learn and reflect on how HIV affects our communities.

A lot has changed in the 40+ years since the AIDS crisis of the 1980s. The course is suitable for anyone who would like to update their knowledge and understanding of HIV. It is also aimed at professionals who may encounter people living with HIV in the course of their work, and who would like knowledge and information about how best to support them and meet their needs. Brighton & Hove has the largest population of people living with HIV outside of London.This event includes guest speakers from our Positive Voices programme, who share their personal stories about living with HIV. Participants have the opportunity to be in conversation with them and ask questions.
