A main barrier to some people taking an HIV test is fear of a positive result and the impact it might have on their lives. In support of National HIV testing week, read Jim’s story of receiving a positive HIV diagnosis and what happens afterwards.
Almost ten years on my life is very different. Sometimes I look in the mirror and I don’t recognise the guy on the other side but I still like him… Today anyone being diagnosed is offered different advice. People are encouraged to remain in the workplace and to live as normal a life as possible. A new range of issues now present. Career development is not something to be pushed aside and people will still want to have lasting relationships with positive or negative partners and to have HIV negative children. All of this is possible.
