 Are you living with, or affected by, HIV? Do you want to find out more about how HIV has had an impact on the lives of people in Birmingham?

Started in February 2009 the Living Archive project aims to document the lives of people living with, and affected by, HIV in Birmingham and to record the history of the services and organisations that have supported these people. The aim behind this project is two-fold; to provide peer support for positive people and to educate the wider public.

The stories contained within this website are testimony to the diverse range of journeys that people with the virus have been on. Thank you to everyone who has shared their story - please do leave a comment at the bottom of any of the stories to show your appreciation.
