Launched in 2011 as a personal blog by Tom Hayes-Isaacs, using the pseudonym ‘PositiveLad’, beyondpositive grew from more than just a personal blog into something much more.
beyondpositive is here to be your go-to spot for all things HIV-related. From the newest medical and scientific discoveries to community happenings, event highlights, and reviews – we’ve got you covered.
beyondpositive’s values are:
- Integrity – we always keep the community and science at the heart of our reporting. While you may see ads here, rest assured that no one else will ever control what we share with you.
- Representation and Inclusion – we stand by the motto ‘Nothing for us, without us’. Our goal is to share a variety of stories from all corners of the globe, ensuring everyone feels represented and included.
- Language matters – we firmly believe that individuals living with HIV are just that – people. We take pride in endorsing the People First Charter and promise to always prioritise using person-centered language in everything we do.
- Championing rights – supporting the rights of those living with, affected by, and working in HIV is integral to our mission. We are committed to fighting for human rights, which includes challenging stigma and addressing inequalities.
In 2024 beyondpositive became part of the Saving Lives UK family. Saving Lives UK provides administrational, organisational, and medical oversight to beyondpositive – but does not have any editorial control over what we publish.
