New dates: Phoenix workshop for the newly diagnosed
Phoenix workshop for self-identifying gay and bisexual men, cis and trans masculine inclusive, recently diagnosed with HIV.
This workshop will run in September – Friday 24, 7pm-9pm (6.30pm for pizza) and Saturday 25, 9am-6pm.
It’s a confidential and supportive space to learn how to deal with managing your HIV diagnosis. It’s free and no Medicare card is needed.
How long is recently diagnosed? It’s not so much about time but more about how much support and information is desired.
What can you expect from the workshop?
- Meet other people with HIV and share your experience
- Explore issues around disclosure, negotiating sex and relationships
- Find out how to maintain your sexual health
- 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
- We’ll finish off the workshop with drinks/coffee/tea nearby.
“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.”
