Throughout the website you’ve been able to hear our personal experiences and stories about living with HIV. We really hope you’ve found them useful.
If you want to find out more about how we’ve come to terms with being HIV positive, please watch our individual stories.
no flash!!!
'I was a student when I was diagnosed in 1991. That was before any decent treatment. I did get extremely ill, but with meds I recovered and at 41 I have a great life.'
Rich's story
'When I tested HIV positive six months ago I was absolutely devastated. But you can find out how I’m coping now through my video and diary.'
Geoff's story
'I was living in the countryside when I first tested positive and didn’t know anyone else with HIV. With support I’ve learnt to manage life with HIV and now work for an HIV organisation.'
Keith's story
'I’ve been living with HIV since the early 90s, when HIV was a terminal condition. Learning to live was, in fact, harder than thinking I was going to die.'
Ken's story
'Finding out I was HIV positive came when I was looking after my dying mother. Two years on I’m able to put myself first and make plans for the future.'
Paolo's story
'I was diagnosed in my early thirties. It’s all been quite a learning journey since then. Speaking of journeys, I’m now working in Sri Lanka and keeping a diary you can read.'
Kelvin's story
'I found out that I had HIV when I was 27. I’m now 31. For a while life was difficult, but with a little help I got myself back on track. You can also read what I’ve been up to in my diary.'
