Living with HIV

Positive – what now?

A positive HIV test result is a shock for most people. It's hard to imagine how life can possibly go on. The dreams of a happy relationship, fulfilled sex life and perhaps children suddenly seem impossible. But this is not true: Today thanks to effective medications you can have a good life despite HIV – something which many people still do not know.

 

Relationships, friends, family

If you are not sure how to deal with the subject of HIV in your relationship, family, with your friends or in your workplace, please feel free to contact us. We provide information about what it means to live with HIV today. And we will help you if you are discriminated against because of your HIV status.

 

We can also put you in contact with a counselor who is HIV positive if you prefer – just let us know in your first email.
