Improving the lives of people with HIV and HCV

With its origins as a specialist HIV and Hepatitis C charity in Edinburgh, Positive Help plays a significant role in people’s journey towards making positive changes in their lives.

For almost four decades, we’ve helped people to live independently and improve their wellbeing.

Services

Our services enable people to positively engage with the health and social care service they need. 

The people we support say they feel more connected and empowered to make decisions, feel less isolated and manage stress better.

Compassion and respect embody our person-centred approach, and we strive to ensure people feel heard and included. Approximately 11,000 people, of all ages and experiences, living with HIV and Hepatitis C, have felt a meaningful and positive impact on their lives as a result of engaging with us.
