Welcome

Positive Action provides emotional and practical support to individuals and families affected by HIV/AIDS.

We offer our support to anyone living in Hampshire - including Southampton and Portsmouth - and South West Surrey.

Support is offered to HIV infected or affected individuals irrespective of gender, age, ability, sexuality, colour, ethnic or national origin, family circumstances or how HIV was acquired.

We also give information and advice to the community to help reduce further infection of HIV and the stigma and discrimination associated with the virus.
