Hello readers out there.
I have attended several meetings in recent time talking about the progress that has been made in the world of HIV/AIDS.
One thing keeps coming up, and that is the fact that people living with the disease still have to deal with stigmatization.
This is a big problem everywhere but especially in Sub-Saharan Africa. Despite all the progress that has been made with medicine , people still refuse to go get treatment for fear of identification.
because patients are being ostracized , I feel the need to have a support group for folks in this region.
I am hoping to get people informed , build their self esteem and simply make them feel human again.
For those that are caregivers , we should lead my example , showing love and support to family members , friends and the community at large. I know there are several support/focus groups out there, but I wanted to tailor this to care givers and just the general public.
My question to you is , do you think this will be a good idea?
Your response , questions and comments will be greatly appreciated.
