HIV/AIDS
James "Jamie" Myslik
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, RSW
I worked for ten years in a clinic for folks living with and affected by HIV/AIDS. While it was rarely the primary issue folks were looking to work on, the many ways in which it impacted their lives were always present, from disclosure, to self-image, to dating, and beyond. I provide folks with a space where they don't have to educate their counsellor about life with HIV.

HIV/AIDS
Ekta Abhay Lather
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist
HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) is more than just a virus; it's a challenge that many individuals face in their lives. It specifically targets CD4 cells, which play a vital role in maintaining a healthy immune system. When HIV is left untreated, it can progress to AIDS (Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome), a condition that severely weakens the immune system, leaving the body susceptible to various infections and illnesses.
The reality of living with HIV can be daunting, especially considering its modes of transmission—primarily through unprotected sexual contact, sharing needles, or from mother to child during childbirth or breastfeeding. However, it's important to remember that with today's advancements in medical care, particularly with antiretroviral therapy (ART), many people living with HIV can lead long and fulfilling lives.
Early diagnosis and consistent treatment can keep the virus under control, preventing the progression to AIDS and significantly lowering the risk of transmission to others. This journey, while challenging, is made easier through education and understanding, which are crucial in breaking down the stigma surrounding HIV/AIDS. By fostering open conversations about this virus, we can promote safe practices, encourage testing, and support those affected, helping to create a more compassionate and informed community.
