One of the things I do is to work as a voluntary HIV Peer Mentor at the Sussex Beacon. In this chat I talk to our group Supervisor, Rob Hammond about some of the things we encounter during our sessions which we take back to him for comment and advice. Obviously we maintain a very high degree of confidentiality around our supported peers and no identification can be made from this chat. We talk about stigma from a health care professional towards a person living with HIV, and about someone issued with a food bank voucher being asked if he has AIDS at a food bank. Its actually still shocking when you encounter these situations. We do what we can to help our peers deal with these situations in a way that maintains their dignity and removes the humiliation they feel.
