Support groups are often good places to share information, problem-solving tips, and emotions related to HIV infection.

The organizations listed in the Other Places to Get Help section of the topic Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) Infection often sponsor support groups for people who test positive for HIV, as well as for their caregivers and friends. Contact one of these organizations to find the support group nearest you.
