About the Positive Committee
This is a committee for people living with HIV/AIDS. The Positive Committee supports and enhances the role of people living with HIV in the Planning Council and the PPG. The Positive Committee is open to all HIV-positive individuals living in the Philadelphia area.
The Positive Committee supports the role of consumers of HIV services in planning and decision-making activities through regular trainings, special educational presentations, and group discussion.
The activities of the Positive Committee provide a unique opportunity for consumers of HIV services to educate other consumers and service providers about the needs of consumers, available services, and community resources. This committee also helps PLWHA to build the skills necessary to participate effectively in the activities and decision making of the PPG and Planning Council.
Positive Committee members and other people living with HIV/AIDS recently participated in our spring town hall tour. If you're HIV-positive and missed the town halls, please take our survey! Your input is very important and will be included in the planning process.
This committee meets on the second Monday of the month from 12 p.m. - 2 p.m. Please see the calendar for upcoming meeting information.
