HIV changes your life, but if you live healthily and take medication when you need to, you can live a good, long life. If you're in shock about your diagnosis, try not to sit around and get sad. See friends, play sports, cook food-stay busy. Talk to friends, family and your sexual partner, even if it's hard. Seek counselling-you need support. The longer you wait, the harder it will be.
