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 Abass,
The community forums at poz.com include a personals section that has free registration and many thousands of international users. This might be a good place to start.
Please see this Q&A for more info on websites to meet other HIV positive people.

Hi Mahal,
I hope you don’t mind but, to take care, I’ve taken out your personal email address. Perhaps you could start by contacting NAZ https://www.naz.org.uk. They might be able to connect you to other Somali friends.

Hi Fazia,
If you’re in the UK you could try contacting the organisations that are mentioned above, they may be able to help you out. Or at least tell you of support groups where you may be able to meet other Somalis.
