Hi
I would like to talk to some people regarding us. This is all new to me. Very scary and I just have a lot of a lot of questions. Is there someone there that could help me ease my mind?
Hello,
, I'm so glad you've reached out here. A new diagnosis can bring all sorts of emotions, and feeling scared is understandable. While we are not medical professionals, we are here to help try to answer questions and support you, so please reach out here anytime. We have a lot of information intended for those newly diagnosed, and I will link some of it here for you. This link has other links to several articles that overview being newly diagnosed, https://h-i-v.net/newly-diagnosed. And here is a message from a community member about being newly diagnosed, https://h-i-v.net/living/treatment-newly-diagnosed. And finally, this article was written as support for those newly diagnosed to be reminded that they aren't alone, https://h-i-v.net/living/isolating-after-newly-diagnosed.
Also, I just wanted to share this resource that has questions to ask the doctor after a new diagnosis, https://h-i-v.net/living/first-visit-questions.
Please know that this community is here for you, so please reach out any time, whether you have questions, need to vent, or could use some support. You are not alone!
Sending you gentle hugs. -- Warmly, Christine (Team Member)
