Description
Despite the major scientific advances that occur almost on a daily basis within the field of HIV medicine, living with HIV is still charged with a variety of negative factors, including stigma and discrimination. These can lead to other violations of human rights such as denied access to healthcare and work, which can greatly impair the health and wellbeing of people living with HIV. I have also worked closely with people who live with HIV for a number of years and while I have supported individuals through my clinical work, I have also witnessed some of the difficulties that they go through, whether at a social, personal or emotional level. In the past some of my research work has looked at the social needs identified by people living with HIV and the extent of the hardship faced after receiving an HIV-positive diagnosis [1]. Other studies in the UK have also looked at the challenges that HIV-positive people face at a wider societal level [2,3] and concluded that the changes in antiretroviral treatment did not translate into straightforward changes in the patterns of need. The complexity of changes in need has been compounded by the unpredictable relationship between needs and service use [3]. It is therefore imperative that studies should accompany and address this shift from the resolution of a medical challenge to the broader social impact. I have also found it remarkable that not only are needs individually framed but also the advances in disease management continue to reveal new and significant needs. For example, those needs that derive from the fact that seven out of ten people with HIV are of reproductive age [4] and therefore more likely to claim back their reproductive and sexual rights.
