Just diagnosed?

Been around the block with HIV and happen to know a thing or two?

Or maybe you just have some questions...

POZ Mentor is an online support program for HIVers at different stages of dealing with the disease. Click here to join!

Want to know more? Here’s how it works:

You tell us about your HIV experience and expertise or about what kind of support you need. We match you up with other members for one-on-one mentoring.

POZ Mentor is especially suited for HIV rookies—diagnosed in the past year or so. We also recommend our special rookie guide: Just Found Out?

But most HIVers can benefit from being in touch with someone who has been there, whether it’s about activism, treatment decisions or dating—or for general emotional support. HIV doctors are welcome, too.

POZ Mentor is completely free, absolutely private and accessible from anywhere in the world.

Just added!

POZ Mentor has launched in Spanish! Clic aquí - para Amigos POZ. Also, both Mentors and Amigos members can now list the languages they speak and tell each other if they were born in another country. You can now search by language and country-of-origin, too.

We've upgraded!

Now you can specify on your POZ Mentor profile which HIV meds you've taken and you can do searches by drug as well. The idea is to make it easier for members to share med experiences with each other. You'll also notice that we've added an ethnicity question in case you want to identify yourself more specifically.
