3P – Positive Pregnancy Peers

3P – Positive Pregnancy Peers is a project for pregnant people living with HIV. The purpose of the project is to empower pregnant people living with HIV in Sweden through peer support.

Receiving support from a peer supporter

Everyone living with HIV who is pregnant, plan to get pregnant, or has recently given birth is welcome to apply for support from 3P. Our goal is to provide everyone who seeks support through 3P with the means to feel more secure and empowered, as well as the tools to make informed decisions regarding pregnancy and childbirth.

Our peer supporters can offer in-person and online support sessions, as well as come along to doctor’s appointments. During the period 2022–2024, we are working to make the 3P peer support available to pregnant people living with HIV throughout Sweden.

Many pregnant people living with HIV in Sweden were born in other countries. We therefore work actively to include people born outside Sweden in 3P. Our peer supporters are of different ages, come from several different countries, and speak several different languages.

Our peer supporters

Our peer supporters help others living with HIV to feel secure and empowered before, during, and after a pregnancy. All our peer supporters are living with HIV and have gone through the journey of pregnancy and birth themselves.

In the autumn of 2022, our first group of peer supporters completed the basic training led by experienced trainers from 4M Network, which has trained peer supporters living with HIV in the UK since 2016. See pictures from the training.

In the spring of 2024, we conducted our second training of peer supporters, this time based on training material developed as a part of the project.

About peer support

The fundamental principle of peer support is that lived experience is invaluable. Today, peer support from trained peer supporters is a tried and tested method with good results in several countries. The method has been shown to have several health benefits for pregnant people living with HIV.

Om oss

Posithiva Gruppen (PG) bildades 1985 och är Sveriges största patientorganisation för personer som lever med hiv. Vi är en rikstäckande ideell, partipolitiskt och religiöst obunden medlemsförening.

Vårt syfte är att samla personer som lever med hiv till utbildning och kontakt, ge stöd samt erbjuda psykosocial verksamhet och skapa forum för utbyte av erfarenhet. Vi bevakar även rättigheter och arbetar för att öka kunskapen om hiv i samhället samt motverka stigmatisering och fördomar.
