People living with HIV
People living with HIV (PLHIV) are central to the public health response to HIV.
This series includes content:
- Written by peer workers and other staff from PLHIV peer responses
- About PLHIV’s peer work
- About how PLHIV peer responses are using the W3 Framework in their work
- To help provide better services for PLHIV
People living with HIV have played a critical role in the HIV response since the beginning of the pandemic. Many of the internationally recognised successes of Australia’s HIV response come down to the powerful impact of this peer work.
The W3 Project is proud to have close, sustained partnerships with peer-led PLHIV organisations across Australia. Peer workers living with HIV have been involved in every facet of the W3 Project, from planning and prioritising to carrying out the research, analysing data, and co-authoring publications.

From peers workers and other peer response staff
Living Positive Victoria staff members Sara and Tim share how this peer support service needed to move fast to find ways to keep supporting and engaging clients throughout 2020.
This post reflects on how the peer-led HIV response adapted in the wake of COVID-19. It is a heartwarming testament to how critical peer-led responses are in times of rapid change and crisis.
Living Positive Victoria's Senior Communication Officer Randelle Anderson shares how adopting the W3 framework for their annual report helped them go beyond highlighting the year's activities.
From the W3 Project team
We share how the PozQoL Project developed and validated a 13-item scale to measure changes in the quality of life of people living with HIV.
Stage 2 of the W3 Project trialled the W3 Framework in peer-led PLHIV and PWUD organisations in Victoria, Australia.
An impact analysis of the W3 Project reveals that the W3 Framework helps evidence replace a sense of ‘believing’ that peer-led actions work.
