How to make HIV-positive clients feel welcome in your salon

World AIDS Day takes place every year on 1 December. It reminds the public and government that HIV has not gone away – there is still a vital need to raise money, increase awareness, fight prejudice and improve education. In the UK, there are around 105,000 HIV-positive individuals. An estimated 38 million people worldwide carry the virus.
