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.

Anthony Canapi - Your Queer Relationship Therapist
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, AMFT
Living with HIV can bring up layered experiences around disclosure, dating, intimacy, stigma, health anxiety, and identity. You may be navigating questions like: When do I share? Who is safe? How do I build connection without fear leading the way? Therapy can be a space to process these realities without shame or urgency.
As a queer, immunocompromised clinician, I hold deep respect for the resilience within the HIV/AIDS community and the complexity of living at the intersection of health and identity. Together, we can explore disclosure conversations, relationship dynamics, medical trauma, internalized stigma, and cultivating intimacy rooted in empowerment rather than fear. Your status is one part of your story, not the whole of who you are.

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.
