Ageing with HIV
More people than ever are living—and thriving—longer with HIV.
Thanks to treatment advances, people living with HIV are living well into their 50s, 60s, 70s and beyond. This is something to celebrate. With age comes experience, perspective, and strength—but it can also bring new questions about health, identity, relationships, and how HIV fits into the ageing journey.
This workshop is a space to explore the experience of growing older with HIV—openly and without judgment. We’ll talk about what healthy ageing looks like, how to stay connected, and how to support your physical, emotional, and mental wellbeing at every stage of life.
Whether you’re navigating new diagnoses, long-term survivorship, or simply curious about what’s ahead, you’re not alone. Together, we’ll share knowledge, swap wisdom, and reflect on the resilience it takes to live—and age—well with HIV.
What You Can Expect at the Workshops:

Peer-led, inclusive, and confidential group sessions
Guest speakers with lived or clinical experience
Strategies to support your identity, wellbeing, and mental health
Resources you can take home and apply in your daily life

Travel support is available — just let us know in advance if you’d like assistance.

Celebrating Strengths
You’ve made it through every challenge with strength, courage, and determination. Living with HIV can test us in many ways — emotionally, physically, socially — but you’re still here, showing up for yourself and your community. That deserves to be acknowledged.
This final workshop is a space to recognise your resilience, reflect on how far you’ve come, and celebrate who you are today — not just in spite of the challenges, but because of the strength you’ve gained through them. We’ll look back at the tools and insights you’ve gathered across the workshop series, honour the personal growth that’s happened along the way, and create space to share stories, gratitude, and hope for what comes next.
Because you are more than your diagnosis. You are powerful. You are worthy. And your story matters. Let’s finish this journey together — with pride, connection, and a celebration of you.
