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.
