Meet new people and talk about all the things important to you in a fun and safe environment, including dating and relationships, stigma and discrimination, hotter safer sex, HIV/AIDS, and more.

A space for individuals living with HIV to get together and just be yourself without the stigma of status. Meetups are casual and low-key, so that everyone can feel comfortable.

CONNECT is a FREE workshop designed to empower relationships (of two or more persons, with or without labels) where at least one person is living with HIV. This workshop provides you with techniques and skills to enhance the quality of your relationship, communication, intimacy, and shared commitments to keep each other safe. See what the buzz is about!Â
