Treat Me Like This
The “Treat Me Like This” project recruited 8 young people with HIV to develop a Youth Guidelines Group. They came together for residential and professional meetings with Chiva and presented at the Chiva national conference, over a one year period.
Guidance documents were produced by the group in the following areas:
Paediatric Clinic Providers
Guidance for Clinics Supporting Young People Taking their HIV Medication
Guidance for Clinics on Transition
Guidance for Clinics on Conversations About Sexual Health
Checklist for Clinics What do Young People Say They Need?
Checklist for Clinic Consultations
Parents and Carers
Top Tips for Parents and Carers Supporting their Children Taking HIV Medication
Young People
Guidance for Young People on Managing Taking Medication

Treat Me Like This was a successful patient engagement project. It enabled young people growing up with HIV to explore and reflect upon their experiences of accessing clinical care throughout their childhood and use this understanding this to support clinical understanding of children and young peoples needs.
Thank you to Gilead for funding Treat Me Like This.
