Living with HIV – reliable information for you and your loved ones

HIV positive people can live a normal, fulfilling life. When you first find out about your HIV infection, you may have many questions on your mind.

Who should I tell about my HIV status? Am I going to live as long as everyone else? What is HIV treatment like? What can I do if I face discrimination? Can I still have sex?

HIV positive people can live a normal life. In the photo, two people are laying down in each others arms and looking at each other lovingly.
