Support and advice from the Sexual Health Adviser team
If you find yourself worrying about any aspect of living with HIV, you may ask to see a Sexual Health Adviser. They may be able to see you when you are in the clinic, or you can make a separate appointment. The sexual health advisers can help you deal with many issues, including:
- Living with HIV
- Telling friends, partners or family about HIV
- Difficulties with safer sex and relationships
- Having a child
- Depression and anxiety
- Worries and concerns about the future
- Concerns about alcohol and drugs and referral to specialist services
- Assessment and referral for counselling/psychology/psychiatry
- Referral to peer support and other support services
- HIV and the law
You may contact the sexual health advisers on 020 3315 9779.
Peer support
Chelsea and Westminster Hospital NHS Foundation Trust offers a range of healthcare services to support your HIV care. We try to make it as easy as possible for you to access our services, which includes a self-referral option for peer support.
Having the opportunity to talk to someone else living with HIV can be very helpful regardless of when someone received their HIV diagnosis. Peer support is when people share their own experiences and knowledge to support each other and improve wellbeing. This approach complements the support and care provided by your clinic team, by offering a safe space for open discussions to reduce feelings of isolation and increase a person’s confidence.
