Jim Allen:
The next meeting is in two weeks. Saturday the 2nd of September.
Topics this week included; HIV Care, Stigma, Ageing, Sex, Death, Instagram, Fitness, Movies and TV shows.
Although these calls do touch on serious topics, they have developed into a more lighthearted and social meeting, and the point was raised about the potential need to have more focused peer support. So a couple of members will be working on this, stay tuned for updates over the next few weeks.
