SUMMARY:Together Extra: Survivors -The Art of Defiance - Fitzrovia Chapel

This group is for you if you are HIV positive and either live in East London or get your HIV care in an East London clinic.  It usually meets on the second Wednesday evening of each month\, but this day and time may vary especially for visits out\, so its best to check these listing regularly. \nThis month\, we have two Together Extras\, running at different times and on different days so people who can’t attend on a Wednesday evening can come along.  The first of these is a group visit to see this exhibition.
