Gay Birmingham Remembered

Abplus how it began

1996

ABplus began life out of the ashes of Body Positive, founded by Tom and Ray, the former chairman of Body Positive. It originally met in peoples houses and then in 1996 they got rooms in the Gazette Buildings, Corporation Street. Abplus was formed to be a group for people living with HIV.
ABplus moved to its current premises in 1999 and there was a lot of animosity to the group from the HIV sector, due to feuds that rumbled on after the demise of Body Positive.
