Introduction

Maintaining a healthy, balanced emotional outlook on life is an important part of living well with HIV. For many people, advances in the world of HIV all help to make this more possible—HIV treatment has improved, people who are on treatment and maintain an undetectable viral load can feel secure that they won’t pass HIV to their sex partner(s), and people with HIV now live long and healthy lives. To live as healthily as possible with HIV, it is important to take care not only of your mental and physical health but of your mental and emotional health as well.
