In 2020, HIV Ireland supported approximately 755 people living with HIV with a total number of 2,878 interventions. The vast number of interventions related to advocacy, 1-to-1 support/counselling, and Covid 19 information. Advocacy interventions in 2020 related mostly to helping PLWHIV access medications and clinic appointments, HIV-related discrimination, housing and homelessness, issues with Direct Provision centres, and Social Protection. Support interventions centred primarily on issues relating to mental health, disclosure in both personal and formal settings, and on accessing peer support. Where possible, staff sought to ascertain every clients’ current health status if further HIV or Covid 19 medical interventions may be needed. This was particularly so with vulnerable groups such as the homeless, people who use drugs, and migrants still navigating the Irish health system.
