The sooner you know you have HIV, the sooner you can get the right medical care. If you know you have HIV, you can take steps to get it under control.

This leaflet is also available in French, Portuguese and Spanish.

Our information levels explained

  • Short and simple introductions to key HIV topics, sometimes illustrated with pictures.
  • Expands on the previous level, but also written in easy-to-understand plain language.
  • More detailed information, likely to include medical and scientific language.
  • Detailed, comprehensive information, using medical and specialised language.
