*  Stop press:

  • A Journey Through AIDS. In September 2007 I was the keynote speaker at the biennial conference of people living with HIV and AIDS in Taiwan. This semi-autobiographical talk uses my own experience of HIV and AIDS as a starter to talk about the epidemic's major themes.

  • The entire photo diary of a walk up Kilimanjaro is now in the travel section. Includes Zanzibar beach photos...

  • A couple of introductions to HIV and mental health:

    •  One is the second talk I gave in Taiwan, to the social work team at Taiwan University Hospital.

    • The other is the Powerpoint part of a Restoego interactive HIV and mental health day at CAFPH, the African HIV centre in Luton.

  • Positive Prevention discussion paper. This was originally devised for a seminar on Positive Prevention in Bergen in the Netherlands in September 2005 and then for a round table on Positive Prevention in London in December. This is the latest version.

  • And also the latest version of a PowerPoint Presentation on the same subject, this for the IAPAC European Sessions in Budapest on 12-13 October 2006.
