Maybe you've not found such a group because YOU...are the catalyst!

I joined a support group after I moved out of the big City (Los Angeles). I moved 2hrs north to California central valley. Best decision I made...I am not alone. Because of Covid-19 restrictions...we're not always able to meet in person. But we do still meet through zoom twice a month. HIVIP
