I need help

By Healthy2022

1 min read

Hello,

I'm from Algeria, I am 36 y.o. and I have HIV. I'm feeling bad, I have no one to talk to, only my family know about my disease. I can't tell people about my health problem because they will get scared of me.

Isolation and living with HIV

I don't want to be isolated, as you know it's not a developed country and the people, they have no idea about my disease. Even me I don't know much information, so I want to make friends to exchange our stories and information.

Seeking health center contacts

Also, I need some association contacts and health centers .... thank you, be positive ...

Interested in sharing your thoughts about living with HIV?

@healthy2022 I am so glad you reached out. I believe we've been speaking on email but I wanted to post the reply here, for anyone else looking for information. The amount of information on this can be overwhelming, so I suggest you start at this collection of stories and articles for those who are facing a new diagnosis and trying to figure out that first step : <a href='https://h-i-v.net/newly-diagnosed' target='_blank' rel='noopener noreferrer nofollow'>https://h-i-v.net/newly-diagnosed</a> . If you'd like to take a look at this page and let me know what information you'd like more on, I'm happy to help you wade through the information! And in terms of local support, I am not entirely sure. After an online search I did find this organization: <a href='https://www.aidsalgerie.org' target='_blank' rel='noopener noreferrer nofollow'><a href='https://www.aidsalgerie.org' target='_blank' rel='noopener noreferrer ugc'>https://www.aidsalgerie.org</a></a> . It looks like they have a place to ask questions at the bottom of their homepage as well as a phone number and email address. Please keep us posted on how you are doing. Liz Green (Team Member)
