If possible, would you venture to a gathering of like-minded HIV comrades whether it be those here online or in a support group in your local area? it could be a barbecue, a picnic or someone's backyard? Would you attend?

Members overwhelmingly said yes to the idea of an HIV get-together, with the conversation sparking real excitement about connecting with others who truly understand the experience. Several members shared that they already attend local gatherings, potlucks, and holiday parties through HIV organizations in cities like Chicago, D.C., and NYC, while others expressed longing for similar opportunities in their own areas. A recurring theme was the deep desire to reduce isolation, find community, and support one another, with many members offering to host events, organize local groups, or connect through virtual meetups like Zoom.

To all who answered my question. I want to thank you for your answers and know that it was a very very popular question and if I could I would fly each one of you to a gathering of our choice. Unfortunately , we all live in separate areas and the best we can do is amongst ourselves and around our communities,.. create our groups. I for one live in Illinois and will gladly welcome oneπŸ€—πŸ€—πŸ€—πŸŒˆ Much love and thank you once again πŸŒˆπŸ§‘β€οΈπŸ’›πŸ’™πŸ’™πŸ’™πŸ˜·πŸŒˆπŸ™πŸ€—πŸŒˆ
