Welcome to Reading Borough Council Community Care Services HIV Information pages
This section of the website offers up-to-date and reliable information on HIV and related issues. It includes information for those infected or affected by HIV. You can find out the services we provide along with relevant partner agencies in the National Health Service and the HIV voluntary sector.
The number of people infected or affected by HIV is continuing to increase, and it is important to remember that HIV is an issue for all of us, no matter which section of the community we belong to. There is still no cure or vaccine for HIV but advances in treatment now means that people with HIV have a positive future.
As well as information about living with HIV, the following pages also contains information, or links to information, about how to prevent the spread of the virus.
Some of this information is by its nature sexually explicit – if you are likely to be offended by such information, please do not access these parts of the website.
Hopefully you will find this website informative and useful. If you have any comments about this website or have any suggestions on how it could be improved, please contact us.
