AIDS Care Group

Starting as a disease identified to men of means, the face of AIDS is becoming more akin to that of minority women living with poverty. Clinical laboratory markers of disease at any level spell a more frightening picture for women than men. The disease progression differs more adversely, and the social consequence of disease has a far more profound effect. In establishing a Women’s Health Care Center for the management of HIV disease, the AIDS Care Group will provide a full serve medical and social services center equipped with the people and the facilities to address the needs women and their children coming in for clinical and social service needs. The facilities will incorporate areas for child care, congregate meals, psychosocial services, group meetings, art therapy, lectures, housing counseling, networking, and internet access.
