Call for proposals

Do you have an HIV-related issue that you would like to explore by hosting your own workshop?

We invite you to share your expertise at Positive Gathering 2010: Living Longer, Living Well.

Past workshops have included Young & Positive, Party Drugs & HIV, Body Image & HIV, and Having a Healthy Sex Life. Workshop themes that would best complement our program this year might focus on treatment issues, nutrition or aging.

Be creative; we’re open to any ideas relevant to people living with HIV.
