Sometimes making decisions about your health and life with HIV can be confusing and it can be difficult to know where to begin.
The HIV Health Trainer service can help you make sense of the bigger picture and make changes to help you lead a healthier life.
Your Health Trainer will offer support and information in a wide range of areas. They have a wealth of experience of working in HIV and are independent of your clinic.
They can help you understand how your treatment works, how the virus affects your body and can support you to make decisions to improve your life and health.
You can ask them anything about living with HIV – from questions about your immune system, what your test results mean and starting treatment, to safer sex, telling other people about your status and accessing services.
Your Health Trainer can help you with:
- making sense of your diagnosis
- managing side effects
- sex and relationships
- understanding your meds
- talking to your doctor
- diet and nutrition
You can choose how your Health Trainer supports you:
- face to face
- over the phone
- online
- by email
