Symptoms of AIDS Explained as Experts Warn of 3.3 Million New HIV Cases

If You’re Worried or Need Support

If you notice symptoms that concern you, have had a possible exposure, or simply aren’t sure of your status, the most important step is to get tested. Many clinics, community centers, and health services offer free or low-cost HIV testing and confidential advice.

HIV is no longer the death sentence it once was — but it is still a serious, lifelong condition. The earlier it’s diagnosed, the easier it is to manage and the better your long-term health can be.

If you’ve been affected by any of these issues and want to speak to someone in confidence (for example, in the UK), you can contact the Terrence Higgins Trust on 0808 802 1221, 10am–6pm Monday to Friday, or email info@tht.org.uk for support, advice, and information.
