One of George House Trust’s objects is:  the relief of need of people living with, and affected by, HIV in the North West of England by the provision of responsive and relevant services.

As a person living with HIV you probably have someone who supports you, this might be a partner, a family member or friend.  We have long recognised that a HIV diagnosis does not just affect the individual, it affects others too including family, friends and partners who are affected by HIV but not living with HIV and they often have their own support needs.

We have over the last year put in place some support to address this need including:
 

At the point of an initial first appoint with George House Trust, making sure that we also offer an invitation to have an accompanying person at the appointment, for support or to gain more information.
 Offering a 1:1 appointment with a Services Adviser to a nominated person so they can find out more about HIV
 

We think that this is a good start, however, we need to understand more about what support or information would help, and plan to hold an event specifically for people affected by HIV.

When we have a date for the event we will send you a personal invitation with an outline of what we want to find out.   We hope that following the event we can put together a support proposal specifically for people affected by HIV to compliment and add to the support we offer to anyone who is living with HIV.
