The European Men's Health Forum (EMHF) is undertaking a study describing the quality of life of men and women living with HIV following the recent One Vision initiative aimed at reducing HIV related stigma in Europe. It is supported by dozens of European organisations. Click for list.
This project will provide an update on the valuable knowledge acquired from previous HIV-related quality of life projects. Administered separately from any clinical trial, it will illustrate the impact of changes in treatment over time, and from various non-medical dimensions will provide keys to understanding expectations from the HIV community for the future.
The EMHF has approval from the Research and Ethics Committee in the UK to disseminate paper versions of the questionnaire through HIV treatment centres. The survey is also available in several languages and hardcopies are available in France, Germany, Italy, and Spain through our collaboration with local and national HIV patient's associations.
Information about the European Men's Health Forum, is available from www.emhf.org or please contact us at office@emhf.org. To find out about the One Vision initiative please visit www.onevision.org.
This survey was made possible through an unrestricted educational grant from Bristol-Myers Squibb. Download the press release.
Why should you fill it in?
From the results of this study, EMHF will produce a report by the end of this year which will be presented to representatives of the EU Institutions and WHO Europe, and to national authorities for input into their policy agenda.
