The last time Xio Mora-Lopez and Ray Welsh saw each other in person before the COVID-19 crisis was Valentine’s Day. They ate at an Italian restaurant near a house for people living with HIV operated by Buddies of NJ that Welsh manages.
She and Welsh met a few years ago at an HIV-related event. They bonded over their shared HIV-positive status, and Mora-Lopez wound up volunteering at Buddies of NJ. Shortly after that, they had their first meal together. They’ve been sharing meals ever since.
