Meeting for Women Living with HIV in Baden-Württemberg

Some of you have lived with HIV or hepatitis C for many years, others only since recently. Some of you may frequently have the opportunity to meet with other women, like for example at your local support group. However, others may only rarely have contact with other women.

Regardless of your situation, the Baden-Württemberg Women's Meeting offers you the chance to meet, talk and participate in interesting workshops that will support you with living a healthy and fulfilling life with HIV or hepatitis.

The next meeting will take place from 11 to 14 September 2025 at Creglingen Youth Hostel.

• Cis and trans women
• With or without a migration background
• With or without disabilities
