Hi guys,
I spoke with a sexual health advisor today to seek some advice on this topic for the forum because I am aware that there is people of all different back grounds who are not as fortunate as myself in being in a community which may not have these educational links.. I am wanting to try to help members of this forum understand and be upto date with all relivant information which may help with any questions anyone may have about HIV/AIDS and found links to not only living with hiv but also being in a relationship with someone who is HIV+ whether it be both bodies or just one person.
http://www.tht.org.uk/myhiv
This link explains to people about information relating to living with HIV and the aspects of what goes with it.. It may be worth having a read even for negative people because the attitude of "it will never happen to me" is a very shallow view to have as we all think we wont get hit by a bus yet some people do and dont wake up so never think never...

This site explains about various upto date information relating to medical information on treatments and latest news. I would like to ideally encourage everyone to just book mark these pages if possible and maybe once a month or once every three six months or year just return to these... There is of course people who cant do this i e on family computer if not dont worry as im sure this info will be on here for a long time and if u need the advice again either message me on here or alternatively send me a email to [email protected] and i will send you the links in strictest confidence..
I am going to join upto a group drop in session to meet other like minded people who have friends/family/partners affected by HIV to see what information i can find and discuss how people have coped on how their loved one/friend has been since they found out.. For the younger members in here i would advise your just starting your life as gay/lesbian/transgendered members so dont be scared to look up reasearch and just be mindful of information thats here as any information i can provide the forum with and the more people i can educate the better... If anyone has any questions they may want me to possibly raise on their behalf please let me know and i will try my best to find answers for....
Kindest regards
