and, while my status is negative, I would like to
help ensure that the HIV self-help ethos does not become
lost in a sea of pseudo-professional mismanagement. My own local GP is
a lovely female doctor but is a little clueless (and she will admit it
herself) when it comes to issues of HIV/Aids. The nurses at my health
centre are also extremely interested in HIV issues but have limited knowledge
or experience. This area is just outside of Leeds and Bradford but it
might as well be 100 miles away, people here are so often ignorant of
such issues. This being the case, how can GPs in areas like this realistically
provide adequate and effective provision and appropriate funding allocation?
Answers on a postcard please...
