Back then, there was not much information, no-one consented us, no gave us any information about HIV testing and the psycho-social impact, if one were to test “positive”.
Thank Goodness the days have long gone and we, as doctors, give loads of information, consent patients and the psycho social impact has lessend.
Sites like the Positive Project help by reducing stigma, raising awareness and improving the quality of life are a forward step in tackling this debilating disease.
An excellent venture! Keep up the good work!
