Have you been living with HIV for a little while? Would you like to meet others like you? 7-2-9 is a monthly social support group for gay men living longer with HIV. We meet to share and discuss our experiences of living with HIV, exchange information and develop friendships and social networks.
The group meets from 7.00pm to 9.00pm on the last Thursday of every month and alternates between Surry Hills and Newtown. We meet at the Albion Street Centre (building on the corner of Crown and Albion Streets, Surry Hills) and alternately at the Sanctuary Newtown (6 Mary Street, Newtown).
Date: Thursday, 25 March 2010
Time: 6:45pm to 9pm
Location: Newtown
Topic: Mind, Body, Spirit: How we change
Change is a part of everyone’s life. This session will look at how sex, ageing and health have changed for those of us who have had HIV for some time now. We'll discuss attitudes, values and strategies.
What is the current information on HIV and ageing or premature ageing?
“I am at my best now, mentally, but my body doesn’t mach it.”
Have we changed our goals in life, employment/career, friends and family?
How has this changed me as a person and my social networks?
Is HIV the starting point for these changes or is it just ageing (the journey of life)?
Come and share your thoughts, experiences and theories. Meetings are informal and friendly, safe and democratic. You can either drop-in occasionally or regularly. We usually discuss one issue each night with a break in the middle for some light refreshments and an opportunity to chat. Discussion topics are selected by the group prior to the meetings.
