Reporting stigma

HIV Confident works with a variety of organisations with a range of reporting and complaints mechanisms. To help navigate these systems, each organisation has appointed an HIV Confident champion who can offer advice about the best route to report any stigma or discrimination.

We will review each organisation’s HIV Confident recognition annually. To be able to renew their HIV Confident status organisations will need to tell us if any issues have been raised and what action has been taken.

Reporting tool

The search tool below will help you to search for HIV Confident organisations. For each organisation you will be able to access a link to information about reporting HIV Stigma and the contact details for that organisation’s HIV Confident Champion. The Champion will be able to offer you advice about reporting stigma or discrimination.

Begin typing the name of the HIV Confident organisation in the text box below. Select the name of the organisation to see the relevant links and email addresses.

Additional support

Experiencing HIV stigma and discrimination can affect our health and wellbeing. As well as reporting that stigma, you might also want to access some additional support. There are a range of HIV organisations regionally and nationally that can offer or sign-post specialist support. Follow the link below to access a list of HIV support organisations in the UK.

Discrimination service

If you have experienced HIV related discrimination and are unhappy with the response to any report or complaint that you made directly to an organisation, you might be able to get some additional support from the National AIDS Trust’s Discrimination Advice Service. This service provides advice and support to people living with or affected by HIV who have faced discrimination. This service is confidential and free of charge.

They can advise you on the situation and may be able to advocate on your behalf or support you if you want to make a formal complaint. For more information follow the link below.
