- A diagnosis of HIV/AIDS is still often assumed to be a death sentence.
- However, the nature of the illness is changing. New drugs and complementary therapies now mean that the condition can be managed. While some people require intense medical support at certain periods, there are long periods when little intervention is required. People now live with AIDS/HIV.
- As a consequence the emphasis on service provision has changed – people are looking to get on with their lives. They are interested in education, employment and quality of life as are all other Bradford citizens.
- The barrier to their involvement in the wider community is the stigma and discrimination that is still attached to people with HIV/AIDS, often because of ignorance about the nature of the illness.
