The course looks at living with both HIV and Hepatitis C, but the primary focus will be on Hepatitis. Issues covered include dealing with the impact of diagnosis, the medical aspects of Hepatitis C, treatment, sex and disclosure and coping emotionally.
The course will be facilitated by someone with personal experience of HIV and Hepatitis C. A doctor and a clinical nurse from Chelsea and Westminster Hospital will lead the sessions on treatment and the medical side of things.

Gordon Mundie, Groupwork Service Manager at Terrence Higgins Trust, said “Living with HIV and Hepatitis C can be tough emotionally as well as physically. This course will allow men to share their experiences and receive practical support in a relaxed, informal environment. If you’re interested, please get in touch to find out more.”
