HIV/AIDS SUPPORT
Is HIV/AIDS still a risk?
Like it or not, HIV and AIDS are still very much a threat to our health, especially if you practice unsafe sex. There still is no cure for HIV. Sometimes denial seems the easiest option, but actually getting tested on a regular basis can keep your mind at rest.
HIV prognosis isn't what it used to be, if you are diagnosed with HIV the likelihood is that with the right treatment you will live a full, happy and healthy life. But one third of all people living with HIV don't know they have it. It is important you get diagnosed and treated as early as possible.
What support can Outhouse offer to help with HIV/AIDS?
As of April 2015, Outhouse East has started a partnership with METRO Centre to offer HIV Support in Essex. Led by Kerry McCabe and Justin Barley, services include advice & advocacy, health information, counselling and peer support. They can be reached at kerry@metrocharity.org.uk (07904 219 509) or justin@metrocharity.org.uk (07904 219 489).
There is a monthly support group for people living with HIV/AIDS on the last Tuesday of each month, from 1pm to 3pm. Contact Kerry or Justin for more details.
