HIV care 'faces funding crisis'

There are over 100,000 people living with HIV in the UK - and this figure is steadily rising.
Six years ago, the government abolished the ring-fencing of funding for HIV support services, which has led to a gradual drop in funding.
The latest threat of cuts is to services in the London boroughs of Lambeth and Southwark, which have the highest instance of people with living with HIV in this country.
Sophia Forum researcher Jacqui Stevenson, support centre users Thomas Lange and Robert Fieldhouse, and Dr Michael Brady, medical director of the Terence Higgins Trust, discuss the likely impact of a funding reduction with the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½'s Victoria Derbyshire.
