Accepting yourself

When diagnosed with HIV, we all go on our own journey towards accepting that diagnosis. Your journey will be similar and also different to others living with HIV.

Below are three videos where people living with HIV talk about how they felt when they were diagnosed, the tools they used to learn to accept it and how they feel now.

Tim, Shiellah and Callum talk about their diagnosis, how they felt at the time, how they feel now and how they navigated their journey towards acceptance.

Donald, Shiellah, Oli, Tim and Ian talk about the tools they use to improve their wellbeing.

In this video everyone talks about what makes them, them.
