The Project Red Ribbon Care Management Program (TRR) has meetings or Support Group Talks (SGT) on a weekly basis in Metro Manila area (soon in other regions in the Philippines). These meetings empower persons living with HIV (PLHIV) about HIV treatment, about ARV management, on PhilHealth process and concerns, on protocols of HIV and AIDS Treatment Hubs, on support systems, on disclosure and HIV in the workplace, etc. These meetings address concerns by participants during the question and answer part of the meeting. We also invite resource persons to talk about specific topics related to HIV.

The TRR Support Group Talks are divided into 3:

1. SGT for New PLHIV Orientation (SGT-NPO).

This SGT provides a venue for group counselling, with setting up expectations on HIV Management, ARV Adherence and Compliance, Understanding PhilHealth's OHAT Package, Monitoring of Side Effects, etc. This is open to all PLHIV's including support system, that is, families and friends.

2. SGT for Couples

This SGT provides a venue for couple counselling, setting up expectations,

3. SGT for Family and Friends

This SGT is made for families and friends of PLHIV to gather around and understand the HIV spectrum and discuss possible ways of strengthening a PLHIV support system.

4. SGT Advanced

In this type of SGT, TRR invites guest speakers and lecturers who will discuss specific HIV related topics. This advanced meeting merges the newly diagnosed PLHIV's who have attended the SGT-NPO and Couples SGT. PLHIV family members and friends, as well as HIv advocates may participate in this meeting.
