About Us

HWUPENYU means 'life', and the project will assist people living with HIV/AIDS, Bloodborne Viruses, sexual health infections and other related health problems such as high cholesterol levels, weight management, depression, mental health problems etc. HWUPENYU will help fill in a gap and reduce health inequalities between the Black Minority Ethnic communities living in Scotland and the indigenous population.

Living With HIV

HIV/AIDS diagnosis can be difficult and stressful. We are here if you are simply looking for someone to talk to? or need advice about your condition and your options. We are also able to connect like minded people who want to meet positive people with a similar cultural backgrounds to theirs to enable them to share their exoperiences with someone they can relate to.
