No one should face HIV alone, especially at Christmas.

My Community is our free, confidential online space for people living with HIV.  It's a space to connect with peers and get support from them, even at times, like Christmas, when other services are not available.

Thank you the Chancellor for listening to #InfectedBlood victims and exempting their compensation payments from inheritance tax.

This is a welcome step, giving recipients peace of mind that their long-overdue compensation will not be unfairly taxed.
