Who Would Like To Join A Camping Get Together This Next Summer (if We Are Not Still On Covid Restrictions)?
We would love to have a MyHIVTeam camping get together.
You would have to pay your own way to get there, and have your own camping gear (maybe if some people had big enough tents, we could share tents), but we would be interested in seeing who would like to have a week of camping fun this summer in 2021 if covid restrictions are lifted. If you would be interested in something like this, please leave a message so we can start making plans.
Yes please

Seasonal Depression
During the darker, colder, cloudier winter months, many people suffer from seasonal depression. My question is during these months when the sun does finally come out and shine, how do you take advantage of it? Does it change your mood for the day? Do you seem happier?
