If you are managing a long-term health problem, like HIV then juggling that along with the rest of your life can sometimes be a challenge.
To further complicate matters, that fact you are living with HIV might affect how your employer views you or your work.
The important thing to remember is that it's something that can be managed, and that we're here to help you navigate the systems that have been put in place to make things fair. After all, someone bringing their prejudices into work with them is something you don't have to put up with.
We want to help you keep your professional life and your health in balance, and not allow either one to affect the other so that you suffer.
