European Testing Week
Week 47 is the second European Testing Week of the year to draw attention to the importance of getting tested regularly if you are sexually active regardless of your relationship status.
Carrying an undiagnosed sexually transmitted infection (STI) or HIV can have unnecessary consequences on both fertility and, in the worst case, health.
By getting tested regularly at one of the various clinics offering testing, you not only prevent the consequences of STIs or HIV yourself, but also protect your sexual partners.
Find out more about where you can get tested by following the link below.
Course: Peer Mentor Online
Want to learn more about how you can digitally support others living with HIV?
On November 9, Hiv-Sverige invites you to the course Peer-mentor online. The course is aimed at those who want to learn more about digital support for people living with HIV and want to gain knowledge and practical experience to be able to support others. We touch on different digital platforms, what support can look like in practice, and alternate theory with role plays and exercises. For those who take the course, and are interested, there is also the opportunity to go on and become part of Hiv-Sweden's peer gallery. The peer gallery is an upcoming website with a selection of peer mentors/peer supporters where people living with HIV can get in touch, get advice and have someone to talk to.
Hiv-Sverige pays for travel, accommodation and food and all participants who complete the course also receive a certificate. The number of places is limited.
For questions or to register, please contact emanuel@hiv-sverige.se

Moderator: Emanuel Karlström, Strategist, HIV-Sweden

Description:
Several trends can be discerned in the 40-year history of HIV, from palliative care to the current designation of HIV as a chronic, treatable disease. With an aging target group and the changing care needs of people living with HIV, we are in the midst of an ongoing paradigm shift with demands to adapt care and resource allocation.

Presentations and discussions will include both research and clinical observations with examples from Europe and the Nordics.
