This report is the main report forming part of Fafo’s wider project on living conditions among people with HIV in Norway, conducted in 2008–2009. In 2008 Fafo published a report in two parts: an attitude survey carried out among the population and a knowledge update. The findings of the attitude study provide an important framework for the interpretation of many of the findings presented in this report. The knowledge update was a first step in the work of studying the living conditions of people with HIV. The conditions for people with HIV have changed a lot the last decade. The anti-viral medicines that appeared in 1997 have steadily improved. In spite of the successes as far as medical progress is concerned, there does not seem to have been any corresponding progress when it comes to openness, knowledge and attitudes in society. One of the goals of the study is therefore to find out how the tension between individual prospects on the one hand and knowledge, attitudes and stigmatisation on the other hand affects the living conditions of people with HIV
