Positively Healthy was awarded a grant
by The Adult and Community Learning Fund, set up by
the Department for Education and Skills, to conduct
research into the barriers faced by HIV positive gay
men during enrolment or whilst attending courses at
local Adult Education Colleges. This project is targeted
at gay men in the boroughs of Richmond and Kingston
upon Thames.
Based on the results of a questionnaire,
a good practice manual has been produced for use as
a training tool for staff within local colleges.

This manual, entitled Registered Enabled™,
is intended to inform the tutors and raise awareness of the
specific needs of HIV positive gay men, as well as identifying
potential obstacles faced by us during enrolment or on courses.
This project will lay the foundation for the programme to
be rolled out across London and eventually to the rest of
the United Kingdom.
This project is a partnership between Positively
Healthy, Richmond Council for Voluntary Service
and Richmond Adult Community College. To ensure total
confidentiality, Positively Healthy will process all data.

We are pleased to make
available Positive About Work, 
research conducted by its founder Richard Meyer of The Globe
Centre, who has kindly given us permission to put this on-line.
Richard's research examined the options for HIV positive people
returning to work and it is helpful and valuable to examine
these data in conjunction with Registered Enabled's data. This

"Physchological Impact
Project" (PIP) ,research conducted by Wayne Barton

Coalition of People living with HIV and AIDS (UKC). This
research documents the various deletrious side effects suffered
by those on anti-HIV medication leading in many cases to severe
physchological trauma and even suicide. |
