Welcome to Talkabout the bimonthly magazine produced by Positive Life NSW. In this online version of the magazine you can view selected articles from current and previous issues. While not every issue is available online yet, articles are continually being added and we endeavour to have as many issues of Talkabout online as soon as possible.

Talkabout is made possible by subscriptions, advertising revenue, donations and a grant under the State/Commonwealth AIDS Program. Talkabout thanks the many volunteers without whom the publication would not be possible.
