People Living With HIV - Shielding Information & COVID-19 Update

The Eddystone Trust have had reports that some people who are Living With HIV have received letters advising them that they are now on the shielding list and as a result are being asked to shield during the Coronavirus pandemic. 

This news has come out of the blue for many and the letters could understandably be a cause of concern for those who have received them.  Our staff are currently looking into this situation and are trying to obtain the best advice/information for People Living with HIV in relation to the Coronavirus.

We understand that this could be very unsettling, if you have received a message to shield and you have any concerns please talk to your clinic or GP
