I hope some new faces stop by to get some real-time support.  :)  Or even not your faces.  ;D ;D You don't need to have your camera on. Heck! You don't even have to talk....there's a chat function. ;) Think of a question you have about living with HIV, and see what answer we can give you!

You were leaning in to speak to me
Acting like a mover shaker
Dancing to Madonna then you kissed me
And I think about it all the time

Hello All. I am super excited about the call this upcoming Thursday. Without a set topic, I hope everyone envisions this as an opportunity to join, participate, and maybe pose a question to the group for answer. I have been HIV positive since 2010, and I bring a lot, and I do mean A LOT, of experience with the mental health aspect of navigating this diagnosis. I’ve been through it all in terms of what to do and what not to do. Important with any mental health journey is to talk and participate, be it with a licensed medical provider or just a friend. This call will have at least 3 friends for you to seek advice from, and perhaps more. Hope to see you then!

          ojo.         Hello everyone!… Well, definitely this time I’m not gonna be able to be with you guys, I will be suffering having a Modelo beer on the beach suffering in Cancun, Mexico. Maybe next time. Again, I will love to have a conversation with numbers guy 83 about how to deal with mental issues and HIV well, not just him, but we are there member that deal with mental issues because I will love to learn how they do it because believe me, sometimes I feel like throwing the towel, maybe I can learn something from them so then I can share with others what I might learn from you guys.… Wishing you the best for the next pier support call…hugs

So what questions about HIV, medications, or living with HIV, do you have?

Disclosure? Changing meds? Mental health?
Side effects like blood pressure and/or cholesterol?

Or maybe you don't even have questions but just want to chat with other people who are living and thriving with HIV.

Join us Thursday for a live chat Q&A!  ;) :)
