Finding out about their HIV status can affect people in different ways; people can feel scared, angry or confused, while others may feel relieved that they have an explanation to some of the questions they have had. Whatever the feelings: it is normal and it is OK. Feelings and emotions are how we process the things that happen to us, and expressing those feelings is important, as it allows us to get answers, to get support, and to release the thoughts that can stress us. 

This series of 3 leaflets are designed to be distributed to people recently diagnosed with HIV and cover: 1) understanding and accepting a new HIV status; 2) learning about living with HIV, and 3) telling others about your HIV status.
