Info & Support
for HIV-Positive Youth
Young people represent half of new
HIV infections worldwide, so it's no surprise
that HIV-positive youth are looking for support and information online. If
you're HIV-positive and a young person, or you've got a friend who is HIV-positive,
you've come to the right place. Advocates for Youth offers support, information,
and the facts relevant to the lives of HIV-positive youth.
I'd like to find online resources, support, and community …
- FAQ for Positive Youth—Answers to your questions on being positive, telling people you're positive, dealing with medication, and dating and relationships.
- In the Beginning: What to Do First—An excerpt from Health Initiatives for Youth's Thrive Guide, this article gives you some first steps to take after you've been diagnosed.
- Body Image among HIV-Positive Youth—Most young people worry about the way they look. When you're HIV-positive, it can be especially hard to have a good body image due to the effects of medications and all the changes you're going through.
