1-2-1 Support
You may not be ready to meet others living with HIV or to attend a group or you may need support to overcome a particular challenge. Short term 1-2-1 support is available from the Blue Sky Trust team

Newly Diagnosed
An HIV diagnosis can be frightening and bewildering but learning about HIV and meeting others living with it, can be a great first step to a happy and healthy life. You can speak to someone else who is living with HIV, attend our newly diagnosed course or speak with one of our team.
Get involved
