HIV Scotland Advisory Networks

Since 2016 HIV Scotland’s Community Advisory Network has brought together patient advocates from across Scotland, representing the full diversity of people living with HIV. The network aims to ensure that our work is grounded in the lived experiences of people living with and affected by HIV. Only by listening to the people that are affected by our work can we ensure that it remains relevant and meaningful.

As of 2020, we have introduced 2 new Advisory Networks: The Women's Advisory Network and the PrEP Advisory Network. The Women’s Advisory network (WAN) is for those that identify as a woman and non-binary people that are happier accessing women’s services living with HIV in Scotland. The PrEP Advocacy Network is for anyone who is currently on, interested in or wanting to talk about PrEP.
