  • Hello Lee1980

    I'm sorry to hear about your recent HIV diagnosis and that you're also dealing with some other ongoing health concerns. It's obviously a difficult time for you and understandable that you're feeling anxious and worried about the symptoms you've described in your post. 

    Hopefully, the test results will bring some answers about what is causing the pain and bleeding you're experiencing and the medical team will be able to set you on a pathway that will improve things for you. 

    If you want to talk to someone you're welcome to call our team of nurses on 0808 800 4040, Monday to Friday 9 am to 5 pm. Or alternatively, you may want to chat with the support team available at the Terrance Higgins Trust. 

    I hope you have some answers soon. Do let us know how you get on. 

    Best wishes,
