The Couples Project is designed specifically for the participation of both members of the couple. If one partner is hesitant, we will be glad to answer any questions he may have and may be able to help him clarify if the project might be helpful. We might also be able to provide a referral to another organizations for just one partner.
Workshops start about every two months.
On average, half of those who sign up with us will be able to start a group within a few weeks. Very little is known about the unique needs of male couples of mixed-HIV status. Participation in several research interviews is an important part of being involved in the project. The information obtained during the interviews will provide valuable data for doctors, psychologists, social workers, policymakers, and others who have mixed-status male couples as clients. By completing interviews, couples are able to make a significant contribution to other people in their situation.
