What you’ll do
Drop in and take a seat at the Long Table, where you can join the discussion along with artists and clinicians talking about HIV in the visual arts, current HIV therapies or any other topics related to HIV that you wish to raise.
At the Long Table, conversation is the only course, but there can be silence. It’s a democracy, so no one will moderate you, but a host may assist you. Feel free to write on the tablecloth.
If you leave the table you can come back again and again.
