Living with HIV

If you're HIV positive, there are many different factors you have to consider to ensure that you remain as healthy as possible.

Safe sex for positive people

When used consistently and correctly, condoms prevent the transmission of most sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and HIV. If you're HIV positive, it's important to use condoms and lube every time you have sex to protect yourself, as well as your partner.
