Dear women,

Some of you have been living with HIV or hepatitis C for many years, others only recently. Some of you regularly meet with other women, for example in local support groups – others may rarely have the chance to connect. No matter where you’re at – the Baden-Württemberg Women’s Meeting offers you the opportunity to connect, share, and take part in engaging workshops that support you in living a healthy and fulfilling life with HIV or hepatitis C.

The next meeting will take place from September 24 to 27, 2026, at the Creglingen Youth Hostel.

All women are invited:

• Cis and trans women
• With and without an immigration background
• With and without disability
• Young and old

By the way: We’d love it if you shared our invitation with others!

Childcare

Would you like to bring your children?

Whether or not they know about your diagnosis, we offer professional and free childcare during the meeting. We understand the challenges of living with HIV/hepatitis C in a family and will adapt to your individual situation. While your children have fun together, you’ll have time to participate and relax.
