Looking at the potential of STPs to support better integration of HIV services

A case study from England

Living with a disability or a long-term condition such as HIV can increase the risk of being financially excluded as well as having a significant impact on one’s finances. The findings of this report demonstrate that people living with HIV continue to experience barriers to access to some financial products, particularly insurance.

The following report is not intended to be exhaustive, but to demonstrate a range of different experiences, and some of the barriers to making social connections for disabled people. It is also important to note it is common for cross-overs to exist between different conditions, with many disabled people having more than one type of impairment.

A significant minority of people living with HIV in the UK will find their condition presents barriers to participation and independence. Personal Independence Payment (PIP) is a benefit which helps to pay for the extra costs of daily life with a long-term condition, thereby promoting independence.

NAT asked 230 public bodies with commissioning responsibility for HIV prevention, for the financial years 2015/16 and 2016/17, what they spent on primary HIV prevention and testing (excluding HIV testing provided as part of mandated open access sexual health clinic services).
