The HIV epidemic has had a devastating impact on the UK, with over 100,000 people diagnosed with the virus since the first cases were reported in the early 1980s. In recent years, there have been significant advances in the treatment of HIV, and the number of people dying from AIDS has fallen dramatically.

However, HIV remains a major public health challenge, and there is still a long way to go to end the epidemic. One of the most important ways to do this is to raise awareness of HIV and to challenge the stigma that is still associated with the virus.

This book is a collection of personal stories from people living with HIV in the UK. These stories are powerful and moving, and they offer a unique insight into the challenges and triumphs of living with HIV.

The book is divided into three sections: diagnosis, treatment, and life after HIV. Each section features a range of stories from people from all walks of life, from all parts of the UK.

The stories in this book are a testament to the resilience and strength of people living with HIV. They are also a reminder that HIV is still a major public health challenge, and that we must all work together to end the epidemic.

If you are interested in learning more about HIV, or if you are living with HIV and would like to share your story, please visit the website of the National AIDS Trust.
