Positive Lounge

The Positive Lounge is a dedicated space for delegates living with and affected by HIV from across the globe. This is where people can recharge, refresh, relax and reconnect in a nurturing environment.

The Positive Lounge is designed to facilitate and support dialogue and discussion for people living with HIV. The aim is to reflect the needs and desires of a diverse group of delegates, providing a balance between quiet relaxation and daily activities informed by people living with HIV.
