A ‘Positively Social’ group has emerged from the World Aids Day event in December 2009 as an essential need to create a safe and friendly social space within a relaxed environment for meeting other people living with HIV.
‘Positively Social’ gives us all the opportunity to talk to each other about issues affecting our lives- it is open to all people living with HIV. Our first two gatherings are to be Thursday 15th April 3-5pm and Tuesday 4th May 7-9pm (a light buffet will be provided) They will be held at THT Dyke House in Eastbourne yet we intend to find a more comfortable venue for future dates. These social gatherings will be happening twice monthly after that.
