New website for men coming to terms with HIV
‘What next?’ is a new, UK-based website
designed to address the sense of isolation and confusion many gay men feel after being diagnosed as
HIV+.
The site is funded by UK's Department of Health and administered by the Terrence Higgins
Trust (THT), the largest HIV and sexual health charity in Britain. It uses video clips and
personal journal entries by men with HIV, and offers advice on disclosure, health, sex and love, and
dealing with medical staff.
“Being diagnosed with HIV can make people feel like they’re on an emotional roller
coaster," Marc Thompson
from THT said. "Many people are left feeling quite alone or feel like they have hundreds of
questions to ask.
"This site aims to give all the practical information gay men might want after they’ve
been diagnosed, but also gives personal accounts of what it’s actually like living with HIV
day to day.
Although some of the site is certainly UK-centric, any gay man who has been recently diagnosed should find something helpful here. [What Next?]
