I like this website but I want to meet other average people like me...

I used to volunteer at a camp for people living with HIV it was called camp Benedict and it was for people living with HIV and their families. It was truly a beautiful experience I got t lead the men's group and I had some powerful experiences with people. Unfortunately last year was the last time. I wish I had the means to take it over it was really at a great camp here in Minnesota called camp Knutson.

Mike & I attended a Presbyterian church in Tucson that was pretty progressive. Mike & I were the token gay couple, but we never felt unwanted. We did some overnight slots there for homeless men during Deep Freeze nights.

Anyway, someone had donated a cabin in the mountains just north of the city. You could use the cabin for like $35 a weekend. Ridiculously low, but no one was using it much. We fell in love with it, always leaving it in better shape than we found it. Some of my best memories with Mike.

I agree that a mountain retreat would be wonderful @A myHIVteam Member & @A myHIVteam Member.

For me , this would be a yes and no. Yes , because it would be nice to meet with others who absolutely understood the situation we are all in . Being and feeling alone because I have no one who can really relate would make me consider it. But there is also a part of me that would say no because I have been feeling like a leper as of late. And if this exile was forced or pushed on me , it would only cement those feelings . I would probably feel more comfortable if it were more of a voluntary thing and I would be free to leave if I liked. But if I was force to? That would be a big no from me .
