a[STARTx] workshop
a[STARTx] (previously known as Genesis) is a weekend workshop for gay men who have been diagnosed with HIV within the last two years. This peer-based workshop is run by other gay men who are also living with HIV, and who can relate to the experience of a new diagnosis.
a[STARTx] is a partnership between
Positive Life NSW and ACON
a[STARTx] aims to support you to make sense of the range of issues confronting you after a HIV diagnosis. It offers you practical help and knowledge to manage your HIV diagnosis, gain confidence, build resilience and make informed decisions around your health. It also provides you with an opportunity to meet other guys in a similar situation as yourself in a totally safe, confidential and supportive environment.
a[STARTx] 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
