Proceeding contribution from Jenny Willott (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 1 December 2010. It occurred during Adjournment debate on HIV.

HIV

Will the hon. Gentleman also suggest that we need to tackle the stereotypes about the kind of person who might have HIV? That is one issue for people who do not go to their doctor, or who do go but whose GP does not pick up on it. As the hon. Member for Mid Derbyshire (Pauline Latham) mentioned earlier, GPs may not think that a middle-aged, heterosexual white woman is likely to be HIV-positive. We need to tackle those stereotypes.
