Positive Life NSW has produced GETTING ON WITH IT AGAIN to acknowledge the challenges faced by people living longer with HIV and their resilience in meeting those challenges. This booklet is based on stories and interviews and shares some strategies for change and enhancing quality of life. Sharing our experiences can give other people ideas about how to deal with the challenges and issues we encounter.
For many people, GETTING ON WITH IT AGAIN meant developing strong values and beliefs that stood steady against the challenges of living longer with HIV. Here, the 'again' has a few connotations. It is about learning from our experiences, setting our direction and giving it a go.
Most of the images in this booklet come from our campaign development weekend. Like the stories these images also raise awareness about living longer with HIV.
This booklet may also be used is peer support workshops or by health-care workers.
We would like to thank all the people who have been willing to take part in this resource. It is an act of generosity on their part to share their lives with us.
