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 enthusiastically responded to the idea of an HIV get-together, with the overwhelming majority expressing a strong desire to meet others living with HIV in person or virtually. Several members shared that they already attend or have attended local gatherings like potlucks, support group dinners, and holiday parties, while others noted challenges like lack of transportation, no local groups, or stigma keeping people from showing up. A recurring theme was the deep longing for community and connection, with many feeling isolated and seeing a gathering as a chance to share experiences, find support, and simply not feel alone.

Good morning family and friends. ❀️❀️❀️As everyone can see , there are over a hundred responses to this HIV get together. With such an interest , it's really a shame not to make this happen.πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ€—πŸ€—πŸ˜Š I wanted to pose a question out to my HIV family here. In the various cities and states, that we are all located in... , would it be possible for one Central person on the teams to organize a group within his/her City and or State? Just brainstorming here...😳😳😳😊 any other ideas are greatly appreciated. πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘β€οΈMany hugsπŸ€—πŸ€—πŸ€—πŸ€—πŸ€—πŸ€—πŸ€—πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘

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

USCHA the biggest HIV conference will be in Anaheim this year. Not sure who can afford the registration but I guess that’s another issue.
