1) go to the meet others link, then type in your location to see people in your area.

2) As for not having a medical case manager, I STRONGLY SUGGEST that you get one. Your HIV doctor office can set you up with one and they are free to use.
Medical case managers can help with financial assistance with paying medical bills. They can help you pay for housing if you get behind. They can help you with utilities if you get behind. They can give you gas cards or bus passes to get to your HIV appointments (you pay the way back home). They can help you with HIV food pantries. My medical case manager set me up with a place 4 years ago to get brand new clothes for a job interview. If you have some kind of need, they can help. They can't help with everything, but they can give you resources to find things.Medical case managers can also help you with getting your medical insurance preimiums paid.
So if you do not have a medical case manager, get one. They can help you out with things that you may not be able to get yourself. Some things are only by referral from a medical case manager. So it would be very wise to have one.
