[Profile] Creating a space where young people with HIV can be free

For 5 days each year, around a hundred 11–17-year-olds living with HIV in the UK leave their families for a summer camp called Freedom 2 Be. For many of them, this is one of the only times outside of hospital appointments where they speak openly about HIV. Although most of the adolescents have been told that HIV treatments are effective, they may have picked up other messages from their families: you must keep this a secret, do not tell your friends, people are not going to accept you.
