Recently Diagnosed Course

	In a safe and supportive setting the Recently Diagnosed course provides an opportunity to begin dealing with the impact of an HIV positive diagnosis, and to learn more about living with HIV. A wide range of information is provided, and we hope that this, along with the chance to share experiences with others, helps to explore feelings about being positive and to take a look at the many issues faced by positive people. The course is free and available to people from all London boroughs and surrounding counties. It is designed mainly for people who have received a diagnosis of HIV at some time within the last twelve months, although it is open to anyone who might benefit.

The next series of sessions start on a Saturday 24th October (9.30am to 4.30pm), then run for eight consecutive Wednesdays evenings from 28th October to 16th December (5.30pm to 9.00pm). If you would like to find out more about the next course and what its aims are, click here.

Courses usually start on a Saturday and then run for eight consecutive Wednesdays eveings covering topics such as:

• diet and nutrition

• advice and information from an HIV clinician

• a discussion about sex and relationships with a psychologist

• a talk with a careers advisor about employment related issues.
  

In addition, there will be the opportunity to meet and talk with people who have lived with HIV for a number of years, and to hear about the beneficial effects of complementary therapies.

We run the course thoughout the year - however places are limited and will be offered on a first-come first-served basis.
