Bi+ Dinner and Focus Group

Living Positive Victoria is very excited to announce the first Bi+ group for people living with HIV in Victoria

The term Bi+ is the umbrella term that includes people of any gender that may identify as bisexual, pansexual, omnisexual, fluid, queer, multigender attracted and more.

For our first catch up we will be meeting at the Positive Living Centre for a beautiful catered meal and a chance to discuss what we want our group to look like. This is the first time an exclusive Bi+ space for people living with HIV has been offered and it is ours to shape and build.

This event is a safe and supportive space to come out and own your sexuality in all its amazingness. This event is for people of all genders so please come as you are.

Please share this event with other Bi+ folks living with HIV who may be interested and if you’re questioning if this event is right for you, please feel free to come along and find out.

If you have any questions about this event or need assistances to attend, please contact Sarah on 0490 132 604

Living Positive Victoria’s Women’s Day

All women living with HIV are invited to enjoy a day of pampering at the RACV Country Club.

Start the day with your peers over morning tea in The Watts private room and then enjoy your free time in the pool, steam room or sauna. A lunch buffet will be served and you will continue to have access to the aqua facilities or relax in our private room for the rest of the day.

This is a perfect opportunity to connect, socialise and share experiences with other women living with HIV.

Transport will be available from Southbank; however, we ask that you please self-drive if you have access to a car to allow space for those who do not have transport.
