Want to share your experience?

Join us for our first Phoenix workshop for the year. This free in-person event is for all self-identifying Gay and Bisexual men (Cis/Trans-inclusive) living with HIV. No Medicare needed. Please know that you’re welcome whichever part of your HIV journey you may be: from the recently diagnosed to living with it long-term. Phoenix is a confidential and supportive space to learn how to deal with managing your HIV diagnosis. The workshop is facilitated by other people living with HIV and HIV specialists including doctors and counsellors.

The weekend event will be held on April Friday 16th, 7.00pm-9.00pm & Saturday 17th, 9.00am-6.00pm.

So what can you expect from the workshop?

  • Have your questions answered by HIV specialists including information on the latest HIV treatment options
  • Learn about other HIV support and services
  • Start planning for the future

Here’s what previous participants said about the workshop:

 “Before doing the workshop I felt so alone. Now I feel so much more confident to deal with the challenges that lie ahead.”

“Over the last few months, I have just wanted the world to stop for a minute. But after this weekend I’m ready to join the universe again.”

“It was great to meet others and listen to the stories and get guidance. Was I anxious? You bet! More Confident now? I sure am and looking to a better future.”

“I survived Phoenix! For all curious I highly recommend going. It was a great experience. The facilitators were all amazing and the group was very warm and open having even made some friends.”
