London student wins AIDS research prize
< Back to university newsThames Valley University's (TVU) Richard Wells Research Centre won an Elton John AIDS Foundation grant to fund a research project that will improve the lives of people living with HIV in Africa.
Supervising colleagues from Aga Khan University (Kenya), TVU lecturer Simon Jones will gather evidence of the long-term effects of the Positive Self-Management Programme (PSMP), first piloted in Kenya and Uganda last year.
PSMP is designed to provide people living with HIV with the knowledge and skills they need to better manage their condition.
It enables participants to meet other people facing similar concerns and challenges, helping them to overcome HIV-related isolation and to build a supportive social network.
