What should I do if I am diagnosed with HIV?

Currently, if you start treatment for HIV as soon as possible, you should be able to live your life in almost the same way as before you contracted it.
Even if your HIV test is positive, as long as you continue treatment properly and maintain your health, you will not lose your job and your visa status will not be affected.

HIV is a disease that is not easily transmitted other than by sexual contact.Just because you have learned that you have HIV, you do not need to make sudden changes to your lifestyle and involvement with the people around you.
There is no need to inform the people around you of your test results. However, you should inform any sexual partners.

To people who have been diagnosed with HIV
