There are different ways to support a friend regardless on what the person is doing. When it comes to supporting someone who is HIV positive is different especially if the person is newly diagnosed. As I was speaking to some of my friends the other day we came up with different ways to support a friend who is HIV positive, one of them is educating yourself on HIV so you have a better grasp on how to support the person. Another way is not judging the person, a big motivator also would be hanging out going to places. Some people like having someone who can hold them accountable, making sure the person takes their HIV medication is another form of support. Due to the stigma on HIV the most important way of support is by treating that friend like a human not making them feel like an outcast, that’s the easiest way to lower someone’s self esteem especially if they are living with HIV.
