Getting Support · 14 June 07
Getting the right support for yourself is essential.
Depending on where you live there may be support groups and organisations available to help. Your clinic should be able to give you details and check out the Resources and Services section of this pack.
If groups are not your thing you can chat to other positive guys on line on this website.
“Having someone to talk to can be really helpful, someone you trust for immediate support and professional support for anonymity. Remember though once you told someone you can’t take it back. You lose power” – Leo
The support of friends, family or partners can help if you are having a bad day. But remember that your HIV positive status might come as a shock to them. Timing is essential.
“Two days after I was first diagnosed positive I remember telling a very good friend of mine and she collapsed. I remember thinking that will be the support then. For her not me! – David
