Answer
Try contacting Naz project first as they run a wide range of support groups including for people from Muslim countries.
An article from Positive Nation includes more information.
Although you specifically want projects in the UK, if you are feeling isolated, sometimes email and access to information can help.
An excellent support group called Positive Muslims in South Africa includes a lot of information on their site.
A new yahoo email support group for HIV-positive Muslims was recently set up.
Please call us at i-Base on Monday if it would help to talk about this.
Hi Rubi, thanks, if you are doing well on meds and viral load is undetectable, then fasting will be okay. Please remeber to coontinue to take your HIV meds though. You can either take them during the time you are not fasting or take them at the regular time so long as you don’t need to take them with food. Essential medicines are ok to take when you fast and are not covered by fasting rules.
Is is okay to fast being hiv undetectable.

Hi Senio, living with HIV should not impact your ability to meet women. i-base is an HIV treatment charity, rather than somewhere for people living with HIV to meet. Please see this previous question for links to groups and forums which will be more suitable: https://i-base.info/qa/6473

Hi Fatma,
In addition to the info above, the community forums at poz.com include a personals section that has free registration and many thousands of international users (including from the UK). This might be a good place to start looking.
