Support Group and Volunteerism
Posted by Pozziepinoy on 11:46 AM
Hi,
I am a follower of your blog since then. Now that I got the guts to talk about my condition, I want to join a support group of PLHIV.
I also want to volunteer during my spare time. I am already enrolled in a treatment hub but all they do is just a medical support. Since I want to know more about my condition and get in touch with someone who has the same condition as mine, I am looking for a strong support group.
Let me know how. Also, If possible I want to start it with one-on-one before really getting to a small group since I am not yet that confident to directly face a group of people.
Thank you and more power to TRR.
