AIDS & HIV Information from AVERT.org

No-one can really know how receiving an HIV positive test result will affect them. HIV can bring anxieties. One way of tackling these are through getting information, by learning about your condition, gaining confidence in it, in yourself and making informed choices for your future. Our 'Learning Your HIV Positive' page addresses some of the feelings and decisions you may face following an HIV diagnosis.

One of the most important reasons to know your status is so that if you're positive, you can begin antiretroviral treatment on time and keep your immune system strong. You can read an 'Introduction to HIV and AIDS Treatment' here.
