I HAVE JUST BEEN DIAGNOSED
We know that you are quite scared now.
A diagnosis of HIV, however, does not mean the same as it did years ago. Thanks to the advances in treatment, people with HIV can live with a good quality of life and for many years. Socially, we have made advances too. Do you want to come and talk to us about it? Do you prefer to call us? We will do everything we can to help you in this difficult moment.

If you have any doubt, or if you have been put at risk, or if you just want to be sure before passing from condoms to the contraceptive pill… DO THE TEST!
