POZ, comfortable nights out for POZ guys, their friends & supporters, now has expanded days and locations.

You can still find POZ every Tuesday Night at Motley Bar, upstairs from the EFN Lounge at 1318 9th St NW from 7pm-12am.

Now you can also find POZ every Wednesday: 7pm-12am UPSTAIRS at the Green Lantern, 1331 Green Court NW.

POZ also takes place on the fourth Saturdays at MOVA Lounge, 1435 P St NW, from 9:00 PM till close.

The goal of POZ is to give the HIV+ community of the DC metro area, and those who are supportive, a safe place to gather, socialize, find new friends, maybe even a date, and of course, moral/emotional support. The DC Center is proud to be a co-sponsor of this event.

The popular POZ party is growing. In addition to having POZ nights every Tuesday at Motley Bar, there is now a monthly POZ event at MOVA (formerly HALO) the fourth Saturday of every month.

The goal of POZ is to give the HIV+ community of the DC metro area, and those who are supportive, a safe place to gather, socialize, find new friends, maybe even a date, and of course, morale/emotional support.

Jacob Pring is featured in this Examiner Article talking about the POZ Mixers that take place every Tuesday at Motley.

Jacob Nathaniel Pring created such a mixer to help ease the tension when one must disclose his status to a potential partner. It’s POZ night on this sublimely frigid Tuesday and it’s been going on now for six weeks. Chris, a regular patron, shares “It’s hard. You have two or three amazing dates and then you have to come to them and say ‘I have something to tell you’. At least here you don’t have to be so dramatic”.
