EALING residents affected by HIV will have access to a range of new services from April 1.

They include counselling, life coaching, wellbeing groups, self-management programmes and peer mentoring.

HIV remains an important issue, particularly in London, which had 43% of the total new diagnoses in England in 2017.

Despite medical advances, living with or being affected by HIV can impact negatively on some people’s quality of life.
