HYPNet - The HIV In Young People Network
HYPNet is a multidisciplinary group of health professionals and voluntary sector representatives working with young people (ages 14-24 years of age) living with HIV infection. The network has grown organically through word-of-mouth and is a truly multidisciplinary collaboration with representatives from all sectors actively involved.

- Guide appropriate clinical governance, including research, audit and staffing arrangements for services promoting care for this group.
- Ensure that accurate and appropriate data are collected longitudinally.
