The annual weekend trip of the
Group of Young HIV Positives.
 
 
 
 
 
A young HIV infected boy wrote to us:
 
Friendships  = are worth gold
Conversations = make us stronger
Honesty = you can be who you are
Trust = we are here for each other
Joy = you wait a whole year for this weekend !
 
A young HIV infected girl wrote to us:
 
”…one of the best things about the weekend is that you can be yourself every minute for three days – normally you live a double-life and you always have to remember who you have told what and when…….”
