"Signs of HIV infection" study - participants wanted

Positive Life here in Sydney is doing a study asking people about signs of HIV infection that they had prior to being diagnosed, and are seeking people to interview about it. 


Positive Life is conducting consultations with people with HIV to better understand and inform communities at risk of HIV about symptoms and signs of early and late stage HIV infection. From 2009 to 2013, a little over 10% or about 30 people each year in NSW were diagnosed with late stage HIV or AIDS. The highest number of late diagnoses is among gay and other homosexually active men, including homosexually active men who inject drugs. Gay men in their 40s and 50s are over-represented in late diagnosis data.
