Does Anyone Have Any Happy HIV Stories To Share??? Does Everything Have To Be Gloom And Doom?
My story: The lbgtqiaxyz senior program I recently joined has a subsection group for poz 50+. It really is a joy to be at a center that has such special programming. I've been to a play and party event. Met some wonderful people as well. Looking forward to an enjoyable future.
