HIV i-Base is a treatment activist group, HIV-positive led and committed to providing timely HIV treatment information to HIV-positive people and to health care professionals.
i-Base was formed in April 2000 by the former publications, editorial and meetings team from the AIDS Treatment Project, London.
All resources are produced with the involvement of HIV-positive people and are reviewed by a medical advisory group. Medical consultants are listed separately for each publication. All resources, including treatment guides and the website, have been reviewed by both medical advisors and people living with HIV.
