Thames Valley Positive Support (TVPS)

Since 1985 the team at Thames Valley Positive Support has worked hard to make a significant difference to people living with HIV across Berkshire and North Hampshire. Originally an amalgamation of several different HIV support groups in the area, TVPS now stands proudly as the only HIV charity in Berkshire and in January 2020, expanded to include HIV support in North Hampshire. Our work spans prevention, testing and post-diagnosis support. Our goal That all people are aware of their HIV status, have the right level of support if they are positive and are sufficiently informed to protect themselves if they are negative. Our core purpose: To provide emotional and practical support to those living with, or affected by, the virus and to empower them to achieve a full and rewarding life. To increase the level of testing to ensure people know their HIV status and to avoid late diagnosis. To increase awareness and information so new infections can be prevented
