Alan Spink works with a number of local HIV agencies across Brighton & Hove and further afield across the south east, supporting those living and often isolated with HIV.
He trained as an HIV peer mentor with the Sussex Beacon and now works with it as an HIV caseworker funded by the Big Lottery Fund.
He is 63 and has been living with HIV for 17 years. I asked him to map out what he considers to be the challenges facing those ageing with HIV, both in terms of those he works with and in his own.
