Dear LEAHNers!
As many of our LEAHN members are involved in HIV prevention activities specifically for women we hope you might help spread the word about this survey being undertaken by Salamander Trust as part of a community consultation. The survey is to be completed by women living with HIV (see details below) so if that isn’t you, please pass it on to friends, colleagues and networks.
The deadline is 30 March 2014.

Dear Friends
The World Health Organization (WHO) is updating its 2006 Guideline on the Sexual and Reproductive Health and Human Rights of women living with HIV (See: http://www.who.int/hiv/pub/guidelines/sexualreproductivehealth.pdf?ua=1)
Salamander Trust is consulting women living with HIV to hear our experiences and priorities. This is a community consultation, developed with a Working Group of women living with HIV from around the world including trans women. We are inviting you to take part in this global survey. There will also be a number of small face-to-face community dialogues and in-depth interviews. Your participation will help.
The survey has a required and an optional part. It is up to you how much you complete; the required section takes about 10 minutes, and the optional questions take about 30 minutes if you choose to do them all. Findings from the consultation will feed into the updated WHO Guideline.
This version of the on-line survey is in English. A Word version is available from us – or also here – for those who have limited access to the internet.
Other language versions, both on-line and in Word, will follow in a few days.

You can write your replies in any language. The survey will run until Friday 30th May 2014.
With many thanks and very best wishes
Luisa Orza
On behalf of Salamander Trust and colleagues
