Positive Vibes (Trust)
Positive Vibes believes in early and more holistic, long-term responses to the epidemic that are rooted in the community. Working with both adults and children living with and directly affected by HIV, Positive Vibes enables PLHIV to advocate for an improvement in the quality of their lives and thereby, ultimately, to reduce the spread of HIV.
