Shanti HIV+Cancer Support

Fridays, In-person with occasional Zoom option.

Being HIV + today, especially when well controlled, is no longer a certain fatality. However, it can come with long lasting stigma. Like HIV, a cancer diagnosis can really negatively affect our psyche, our emotions, and our sense of self. Talking and sharing stories with others from similar experiences helps. We will also explore advocacy and latest research in HIV, cancer and health management.
