The Advisory Group is formed of topic experts representing different sectors in HIV treatment and prevention. This group includes representatives from academia, community members, community-based organisations, government and statutory bodies, medical practitioners and clinicians.
Advisers are collaborating to write a set of 28 Evidence Papers on relevant topics for consideration by the Commission. The 28 papers are structured by five themes outlined by the Commission and will contain the most up to date data and expertise on the landscape of HIV in England. The production of these Evidence Papers represents an unprecedented collation of expertise from across the HIV sector. Once completed, the papers will be made public in the resources section of the HIV Commission website.
