GENESIS weekend workshop

Genesis: A safe weekend workshop for gay men who've been diagnosed with HIV within the last two years.

Genesis is designed to help you make sense of the range of issues confronting you after diagnosis. It gives you a chance to meet other guys in the same situation as yourself. This happens in a totally safe, confidential and supportive environment.

This weekend workshop gives you the opportunity to:

• Explore HIV and its impact on your life expectations
• Understand how HIV and your immune system work
• Get an overview of current and future treatments
• Understand HIV and its impact on your health, sex life and relationships
• Work out who to tell about your status and when to tell them
• Plan for the future
• Access services in the community

Genesis is a collaboration between ACON and Positive Life NSW.

Thanks to a caring, sensitive and fun program that nurtured me through a very difficult time ... I still cannot stop spreading the word of what a great and important help it was to myself and the other newly diagnosed guys… To those who are newly diagnosed, I can only say that I could now not imagine not having done Genesis. It helped me see a clear path to the rest of my life LIVING! With HIV. – Paul, July 2009
