Peer support for people living with HIV
Chelsea and Westminster Hospital NHS Foundation Trust offers a range of healthcare services to support your HIV care. We try to make it as easy as possible for you to access our services, which includes a self-referral option for peer support.
What is peer support?
Having the opportunity to talk to someone else living with HIV can be very helpful regardless of when someone received their HIV diagnosis. Peer support is when people share their own experiences and knowledge to support each other and improve wellbeing. This approach complements the support and care provided by your clinic team, by offering a safe space for open discussions to reduce feelings of isolation and increase a person’s confidence.
