Positively Women was established in 1987 by a group of HIV positive women who were determined to set up services specific to women's needs. They formed a support group which provided a safe space for women to talk openly about the challenges they faced. Today, the organisation remains strongly committed to the ethos of peer support and empowerment. Positively Women, now has a web site. You can view it at: www.positivelywomen.org.uk
