A positive HIV test result can change everything about a person's life - yet it is not a reason to despair.

A well-informed person is better able to gain access to the full range of available treatment options and resources, and is better equipped to make decisions.



    We encourage everyone to:

  • Learn as much as possible about the HIV infection and how it affects the body.
  • Take frequent diagnostic tests - learning what the results mean, and what to do about them.
  • Explore and understand treatment options, and learn to choose therapies wisely.
  • Make positive changes to adapt to and take control of the situation.
  • Last, but not least, be good to yourself.
