GIPA Principles

Greater Involvement of People with HIV and/or AIDS (GIPA)

Nothing about us, without us.

As a peer-based organisation Queensland Positive People (QPP) recognises the centrality of the positive voice and values the importance of the lived experience of HIV.  All that we do at QPP is underpinned by the principles of Greater Involvement of People with HIV and/or AIDS (GIPA). 

GIPA principles recognises that people with HIV are integral and central to the HIV response. GIPA values PLHIV as a valuable resource providing lived experience and knowledge to help inform the design, implementation and evaluation of programs and services.
