Positive Lounge

The Positive Lounge is a dedicated space within the conference venue for delegates living with and affected by HIV. The space aims to provide a balance between the busy activities of the conference, and a quiet place for relaxation. Positive Lounge guests will be able to rest, charge their devices, refresh, connect and network with peers in a welcoming environment, and enjoy healthy light refreshments. CAHR extends its sincere appreciation to the Canadian AIDS Society (CAS) and the Canadian Positive People Network (CPPN), under whose leadership new programming will be developed for the lounge for CAHR 2025.
