Join Our HIV Treatment & Care Information Session with Doctor Jussi Sutinen
We warmly invite you to take part in an open and supportive discussion about HIV treatment. Usually we organize events in Finnish, but now for the first time we are organizing one exclusively in English!
We encourage you not to miss this unique event!
Whether you’ve been recently diagnosed or have been living with HIV for a long time, this space is for everyone — no matter where you are on your journey. You are welcome to participate, whether you’ve been positive for years or are newly navigating your treatment options.
This session is designed to answer any questions you may have about HIV treatment and to provide a safe and inclusive environment for open conversation.
Are you curious about how to get started on treatment or how to optimize the one you’re currently on? Perhaps you’re wondering about the latest advancements in treatment and care or how to manage potential side effects. This is the place to ask or just visit to hear Jussi’s presentation!
Here are some examples of what we can explore together:
- What are the most up-to-date treatment options available?
- What is important in the context of treatment?
- What can I expect if I’m switching or adjusting my treatment?
- Are there alternative therapies or new developments in treatment I should be aware of?
- How can I talk to my healthcare provider about changing my treatment plan if needed?
- What lifestyle choices can help me stay healthy while on treatment?
We understand that treatment is a personal journey, and you might be wondering how it fits into your day-to-day life or long-term goals. Whether you’re starting treatment for the first time, considering a switch, or looking to optimize your current plan, this session is a space for you to connect with others who may have similar questions or experiences. These are also topics people talk about in peer support meetings.
Our discussion will cover a wide range of topics, including:
- Staying on treatment consistently and effectively
- The impact of treatment on long-term health and quality of life
- Managing treatment alongside other health conditions
- The future of HIV treatment — what’s on the horizon?
Whether you prefer to actively participate or just listen, everyone’s experience is valuable. We encourage you to share your thoughts, ask questions, and connect with a supportive community that understands the challenges and successes of living with HIV. Together, we can create a space for learning, growth, and understanding, no matter how long you’ve been on your treatment journey.
