This section of our website aims to give you a brief understanding of issues that affect people diagnosed with HIV infection.

You might also be interested in our short booklet "Tell Me About HIV" - click on the image to the right to read that online. Alternatively, keep reading this page and the rest of this section on HIV and the choices available to you if you are diagnosed as HIV positive.

Both were prepared in simple language to give you a basic introduction to living with HIV. They are not intended to be a list of do's and dont's, and are not overly scientific either. 

We do try to explain some of the terms that you wil be discussing with your doctor, so that you have an idea of what is going on.  If you want to find out in greater depth, use our Web Links page to search for more information.
