What is Pozitively Me: HIV Support Groups, Culture and Individualism in Toronto about?

In Toronto, numerous support groups exist for people living with HIV (PLWH). Membership is based on HIV status and sometimes an additional demographic factor of ethnicity, age, sexuality or gender. Groups cover a range of topics including physical and psycho-social health, and everyday challenges of living with HIV. Based on participant observation in three support groups, this article examines how individualism and cultural difference structure 'positive living' therapeutic frameworks, and how the prioritization of the former over the latter contributes to the production of a depoliticized, neoliberal formation of multicultural therapeutic citizenship with differing effects for differentially positioned PLWH.
