Peer support group for women aged 18 and over, who are living with HIV and reside in Liverpool City Region.

This group meeting is facilitated by Sahir House, Liverpool's largest & oldest LGBTQ+ and HIV support charity.

The meetings take place on the third Tuesday of the month in Liverpool City Centre.

The support group covers the Liverpool City Region, and offers a safe and friendly space for women living with HIV.

We understand that childcare can be a barrier to accessing services, so children under 5 can come along; however, they remain the responsibility of the parent.

The aim of the group is to provide a safe, confidential space for women to;

share experiences of living with HIV

discuss hopes, dreams & concerns of living with HIV

provide emotional support; and build friendships and have fun together.

We sometimes invite professionals to the group to discuss things like developments in medication, benefit advice, women’s health etc.

The meeting runs from 11am - 1pm.

Due to limited capacity, we ask those who would like to attend in person to book a place via Eventbrite. There will be a maximum of 10 attendees.

This allows for a safe and manageable group session, creating a comfortable and relaxed experience for those attending.
