1st December is World AIDS Day - STEP made this video 7 years ago and the issues are still relevant - In Ireland, More than 500 new cases of HIV were diagnosed in the last year, the highest rate since records began: Also ALMOST ONE IN five HIV positive people in Ireland say they have felt suicidal in the last year. The HIV in Ireland survey 2017, has found that stigma continues to have a significant impact on people living with the condition in this country. Being open about their diagnosis was a huge concern to HIV positive people in Ireland, the survey found, as 61% of respondents reported not disclosing their status to one or more people for fear of being judged or treated differently.

Congratulations to our friends Jimmy and Niamh and everyone down 'the Parish'. Fantastic video showing the brilliant work they do.
