Ever wondered how s*x and relationships work when you are HIV positive?
Watch the video, get insight into people living with HIV and how they navigate their personal experience through laughter and understanding.
Humour can normalize the experience of living with HIV, making it feel less isolating. When people share a laugh about something that others may see as taboo or serious, it reinforces the idea that living with HIV doesn’t mean living in shame or silence.
For people living with HIV, finding a community of others who understand their journey can be essential.

What not to ask someone living with HIV.

Pozhet produced a series of educational videos aimed at busting myths and promoting understanding around HIV. Featuring real people, these videos tackle common questions like 'What does undetectable viral load mean?' and 'Can HIV be transmitted through activities like kissing or licking?'

With clear explanations, the video series aim to debunk misconceptions and reduce stigma surrounding HIV. Each video is a powerful tool for education and empowerment within our communities.

🌍 World AIDS Day – December 1
Since 1988, World AIDS Day has been a time to raise awareness about HIV and AIDS. In Australia, it’s about:
✅ Supporting people living with HIV
✅ Sharing info on prevention, treatment & care
✅ Fighting stigma and discrimination
✅ Remembering those lost to AIDS-related illnesses

💬 Theme for 2024: “No One Left Behind”
This year we’re focusing on:
✔ Fair access to HIV prevention, testing & treatment
✔ Supporting First Nations peoples, diverse communities & remote areas
✔ Breaking down stigma so everyone can get help
✔ Creating supportive environments for people living with HIV

📊 Why it matters:
Around 30,890 Australians live with HIV
Globally, 40.8 million people live with HIV
Over 44.1 million lives lost since the epidemic began

Today, treatment means people with HIV can live long, healthy lives—and even prevent transmission. Preventive meds and quick access after exposure save lives. But not everyone knows this. That’s why World AIDS Day matters.
Let’s work together so no one is left behind. ❤️

❤️ World AIDS Day – December 1 ❤️
Today, we pause to remember. To honour the millions of lives lost. To stand with every person living with HIV.
Since 1988, World AIDS Day has been about more than awareness—it’s about compassion, solidarity, and hope. In Australia, it means:
💪 Supporting people living with HIV
📢 Sharing life-saving information
✊ Fighting stigma and discrimination
🕯 Remembering those we’ve lost

💬 This year’s theme: “No One Left Behind”
Because everyone deserves access to prevention, testing, and treatment—no matter where they live, who they are, or what their story is.
Because stigma still hurts, and together we can break it.
Because every person matters.

📊 The reality:
30,890 Australians live with HIV
40.8 million people worldwide
Over 44.1 million lives lost since the epidemic began

But there is hope. Treatment means people with HIV can live long, healthy lives—and even prevent transmission. Preventive medicines save lives. Quick action after exposure saves lives. Knowledge saves lives.
Let’s make sure no one is left behind. Share this message. Show your support. Light a candle. Speak up. ❤️

BreastScreen NSW is expanding machine reading to all first-time screeners, meaning fewer call backs for further assessments and less unnecessary stress for women.

Since introducing machine reading technology a year ago, the number of women being called back for additional tests following breast screening has reduced. It’s estimated it will save around 500 reassessments by the end of the year.

With this expansion, more women across the state will have access to this cutting-edge technology, and care will be directed to those who need it most.

Sexual Health Confidence and Understanding Erectile Difficulties (ED)
Many people living with HIV experience changes in their s*xual health and that’s okay.
Erectile difficulties are common and treatable. Talking to your doctor or clinic is the first step to feeling confident again.
Taking care of your s*xual health is part of living well with HIV.

Many people living with HIV experience changes in s*xual wellbeing, including erectile dysfunction (ED). This can be caused by a mix of things, like stress, tiredness, medication side effects, or other health conditions.
The good news is that ED is common and treatable. Talking openly with your doctor, nurse, or counsellor is an important first step. They can help find what’s causing it and work with you on a plan that fits your needs.
Counselling or therapy can be especially helpful, as ED is often linked to stress, anxiety, or relationship changes. Looking after your mental and emotional wellbeing can make a big difference and is sometimes more effective than medication alone. Simple lifestyle changes like regular exercise, eating well, and managing stress can also help improve s*xual health.
If you and your healthcare provider do decide to try medication, they can discuss options that are safe with your HIV treatment.
Remember, s*xual wellbeing is about more than just performance, it’s about feeling comfortable, connected, and confident in yourself and your relationships.
