A new year
January is the time of year when many people decide to make changes about the way they live their lives.
Often people decide to try and live a healthier life. There’s information on aidsmap.com about how to start and sustain an exercise regimen, what a good diet consists of, and how to stop smoking.
People often feel a bit down in the dumps or even develop depression in the dark winter months, and if this is the case you might find NAM’s booklet on HIV and mental health useful.
A new year can sometimes prompt people to reconsider their job or the general direction in which their life is heading. If you want to talk to somebody about your options, try contacting THT Direct on 0845 1221 200, they have trained advisers who can provide basic information on most of the issues people living with HIV encounter, or they can get an expert from THT to contact you with specialist advice. If THT can’t help, they’ll provide a referral to an organisation that can.Anti-HIV treatment
Travel
Some countries impose restrictions on entry and residence for visitors who are HIV-positive. It makes good sense to check if a country you are planning to visit has any restrictions. An updated guide to such restrictions has recently been published and is available here.
