Abstract
HIV in the UK is concentrated in a few key populations, and African migrants are among them. To date, there has been no documented record of the personal experiences of this group to accompany the significant amount of epidemiological data on these communities. There is no record celebrating the contribution, resilience and lived experience of Africans living with HIV in the UK, their allies and their response to the epidemic. A group of African women who are long-standing HIV activists and advocates, much respected for their leadership within the HIV community, considered that it was important to capture and tell these stories to ensure they were accurately recorded in the history of HIV. Their experience spans the story of the African community's experience of HIV in the UK. They formed a steering group and the project aimed to showcase 40 stories to coincide with the 40th anniversary of HIV in 2021.
英国的艾滋病毒感染者主要集中在少数关键人群中，非洲移民就是其中之一。迄今为止，除了有关这些群体的大量流行病学数据外，还没有关于这一群体个人经历的记录。没有任何记录可以颂扬在英国感染艾滋病毒的非洲人、他们的盟友以及他们应对这一流行病的贡献、复原力和生活经历。一群非洲妇女是长期的 HIV 活动家和倡导者，她们在 HIV 社区中的领导地位备受尊重，她们认为必须记录和讲述这些故事，以确保将其准确地记录在 HIV 的历史中。他们的经验涵盖了非洲社区在英国的艾滋病经历。他们成立了一个指导小组，该项目旨在展示 40 个故事，以配合 2021 年的艾滋病 40 周年纪念。
期刊介绍：
British Journal of Nursing (BJN) provides all nurses, regardless of specialism, with a comprehensive resource that brings together nursing practice, education and leadership. We believe that the nurse''s role has become increasingly demanding, which is why we have made some important updates to the journal. It now has more clinical content, more practical features - with clear learning outcomes – and new ''bitesize'' articles designed for accessibility. These changes have been made for one reason – to help easily obtain essential information you can trust.
