27 August 2008. Related: All topics, Newly diagnosed.
Hi guys,
First , thanks for your wonderfull work. I was diagnosed 9 months ago, and started treatment 6 months ago. What’s bothering me is I dont know anybody else who is positive. This makes me feel very lonley sometimes. Can you tell me is there a website or an organisation where I could chat to and maybe meet other positive people?
I am a 48 year old male ( heterosexual ) if this has any importance, living in west London.
Thanks

Hi.
Yes, there are both websites and groups in London, but may I suggest you contact us on the phoneline first, so that we can discuss and suggest the group/organisation that you’ll find most useful.
The number is 0808 800 6013 Mon-Wed 12-4pm and all calls are free of charge from landlines and the most mobile networks.
You can always call us on: 0808 800 6013 Mon-Wed 12-4pm. The calls are free of charge from landlines and most main mobile networks in the UK and confidential, of course.

I am also a heterosexual male (non-biased) who was diagnosed positive 4 months ago. I was simply been told and given some hep B jabs.
I would like to talk to someone HIV positive as I am getting conflicting information. One person has told me that YOU WILL NEVER suffer from AIDS in this day and age.
Another has told me that I will have 20 – 25 years to live.
Please help. Male, 40 years old. No meds, CD4 count 640; viral load huge on infection, now 2500, I think
I am afraid we can’t really provide you with personal information of this kind, unless the person contacts you directly. Sorry for this, but it is a confidentiality issue and our rules are very strict about it.
Hi
I am also newly diagonised (6 months) and 48 too. Is there a possibility of exchanging email addresses with this guy?
