We want to stop people dying needlessly from bowel cancer.

Support HIV research- improve quality of life
United Kingdom, Health
People with HIV face a shorter and poorer quality of life. Many will therefore take vitamins and supplements in addition to their antiretroviral therapy. However many of these supplements have not been proven to be beneficial and some may even cause harm. We wish to employ a researcher who can undertake a systematic review of existing data an present the information accessibly to people living with HIV. This could improve the quality of life of the 70,000 people accessing HIV care in the UK.
