Members enthusiastically brainstormed ideas for an in-person or virtual get-together for people living with HIV, acknowledging that with members spread across the world, including Africa and beyond, a single large event would be challenging. Several members suggested creative solutions like regional meetups at parks or restaurants in different states, a gay cruise with entertainment and activities, Gay Days at Disneyland, or even a campground gathering open to both LGBTQ+ and straight friends. A recurring theme was the desire for connection balanced with real-world limits like travel costs and mobility, with many members open to starting virtually before meeting in person.

I posted this question several times and we received over 200 replies but it's difficult because everyone scattered throughout the world and it's difficult for someone to host. So perhaps we can organize these events in different states and perhaps have someone in each state hosted if possible or choose a venue like a restaurant where everybody can get together in that state. And or city.

I can't even believe that happened to you my friend. I'm so glad that you received your pardon but it looks like we're going backwards in this country.

Thanks guys. If you look back at the questions and answers we had about 300 responses and as Rex said a lot of people have left a lot of people are interested but don't want to travel and so forth everybody has their own reason. So I think that's a great idea to meet at a public setting like a park in different states throughout the country.

All the ideas of meeting sounds wonderful. But money wise it is out for me. I live in Jersey City and I don’t drive. We can start off virtually if that is an idea. Let me know.

Yeah, the online cruises have casinos drink packages shows, and activities and food. And it’s doesn’t have to be a HIV cruise. I’m going on a gay cruise because they have gay performers and drag artist.
