My name is Con and I am 36 years old. I live at NSW,I have been HIV Positive for 1 year and 7 months. The time I have a partner / boyfriend. According to the writers group I attend and without knowing exactly how it's happening, My X-Boyfriend are HIV too I'am have told my mum & Dad but my sisther's and my brother don't know I'am HIV I would like to meet any HIV positive people. Please can you help me

I've looked up some services that may be able to help you meet other positive people, otherwise they should be able to give you the right lead.
Positive Living Centre - workshops, classes and activities offered. 703 Bourke St, Surry Hills Client Support Officer ph 9699 87 56 or email dpj@loom.net.au or Pastoral Care Western Sydney
- Emotional practical and spiritual support for PLWHA, family and friends also counselling. ph 9671 4100 1-5 Marion Street, Blacktown.
or The Western Suburbs Haven Inc - Alternative therapies, Friday lunch, referrals, food supply, workshop space, fundraising, care and support, drop-in. Mon-Fri 9.30am-4.30pm ph 9672 3600

I have taken this from a booklet called 'Contacts'. You can ring to get them to send you a free copy, it has tonnes of contacts that would be great for you. Call PLWHA on (02)9361 6011 and ask if you can get a copy of 'Contacts'.

Keep coming back to the site and read what positive people have said and perhaps you'd like to write a story yourself.

My friend has HIV, he won't say if it is AIDS now. He is in the hospital for 4 weeks now, has had 4 heart attacks and has pnuemonia, what do you think his prognosis is?

Hello, thanks for visiting the site, there is no medical information on the site it's all based on personalised stories and experiences of people such as yourself who are affected in some way by HIV.
May l suggest that you visit another prominent site which have Dr's online who can give you advice or you can read past answered questions. http://wwww.thebody.com

AIDS is something no one cares about or thinks about. But it can happen to anyone at anytime. Anyone can get it. You dont have to be gay to get it. And I have learned that. And but yet still have much knowledge to learn.

I have an uncle who is 32 years old. I found out he is gay. And just 2 years ago I gound out that he has contracted the AIDS virus. And I am very scared. My other uncle went on a trip with him and he was scared that if the mosquito that was in the room might bite him and he might contract the disease.

hi, I am 13 years old. I am doing a report on how HIV/AIDS affects education and jobs in peoples lives. And I have learned alot about AIDS and how it affects lives. And ur website is a good site to go to.

This site is awesome. I love it. It helps me learn lots about AIDS and HIV thanks.

Hey thanks for your feedback, l'm about to add it to the site. Remember to have a look at the FAQ page which lets you know some commonly asked questions and as memory recalls....a mosquito canno't carry HIV.
I think when you find out more about HIV, it's not as scary and that may help your uncle also.
Anyhow, thanks again,
