thanks
to all of you
Nearly 800 of you filled in the Readers Survey. That's nearly four times
as many as filled in the last one in 1999.
That's still only one in fifty of our estimated readership. And those
of you who subscribe by post were 50 times more likely to fill it in than
those who pick it up casually. This means that it was overwhelmingly our
most loyal and consistent readers who filled in the survey. Pub or clinic
'skimmers' - yes, sir or madam,
that's you, and we know there are a lot of you - were far less likely
to respond - and may represent a very different bunch of people.
What do you value most?
One thing in particular stood out in the comments people added. Many,
many of you mentioned Positive Nation's vital help in combating isolation.
One said: "Thank God you're there. It makes me feel less isolated
in a world where few know about me." Another said: "In a rural
area, being HIV positive is hard. I don't have the anonymity city-dwellers
take for granted."
You particularly value our news section. Four out of five readers read the UK
