HIV/AIDS
Dennis Sapire
Psychologist, JD PhD
I work with many clients with HIV in the Gay community, and I appreciate not only the challenges we have known since the 1980's and the massive achievement of Dr. Ho's "cocktail", but also the frequency with which my clients live long and healthy lives with an undetectable viral load.

HIV/AIDS
Viktoria Walda Byczkiewicz, Ph.D.
Pre-Licensed Professional, PhD
When HIV/AIDS was new to society, people were fearful. Beginning in the late 1980s, I have worked with people diagnosed with HIV/AIDS as an advocate, activist, and counselor. Thankfully, science has progressed by leaps and bounds to help individuals with these diagnoses lead healthy, productive lives. Yet still, the stigma associated with HIV/AIDS remains, as does the fear of succumbing to what was once a life sentence. Let us engage in a process of living fully and mindfully with our dis-ease to facilitate acceptance and awareness of the needs and sensitivities of our body. Indeed, there is hope and there is evidence that survival and living well with HIV/AIDS is possible.

HIV/AIDS was stigmatized for a long time and seen by many as a death sentence. Our understanding of the disease has evolved and its important for those dealing with this issue to understand that while you may have to adjust to your experiences, life is still filled with hope, life still can be good, and you still can have dreams. Whatever your struggles around this issue, we at Growth and Change Counseling want you to know that we are here for you.
