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.

Moreno Valley is one of the Inland Empire's largest cities, a commuter community where many residents make long daily drives to jobs across Riverside, Orange, and Los Angeles counties, alongside a major logistics economy and the March Air Reserve Base next door. Commute strain, economic pressure, and family stress dominate the local mental health picture, in a predominantly Latino and Black city where affordable, culturally competent care is in short supply relative to need. Riverside University Health System and regional community providers anchor public access, with telehealth easing the geography.
