What should we do for HIV Positive person in our society?


I think is kind of a big issue being different,so how can we accept the fect and think to give people a better image in their life.
Thank you.

I am president of an organization called Northern Lights Alternatives in Oklahoma City. We provide AIDS Mastery Workshops for persons infected or affected by HIV and AIDS. This program is nation wide and was started in the 1980's by a woman named Sally Fisher in New York City. One of "sayings" is "Live Life with Passion". We show people that just because you are HIV positive, there are reason's to continue on with your life. HIV is not a death sentence like it used to be. Medications are helping people live longer than ever. In March we are going to hold our first ever Youth Mastery Workshop for ages 13 - 17. We will include a section called HIV/AIDS 101. We must teach our young people to be safe. We have to educate everyone, because apparently not everyone understands the risks involved. We are a non-profit organization - we rely only on grants and donations. We never ask a participant to pay for anything. In fact we provide all their meals for the entire 3 days. We hold at least 4 workshops a year (each workshop last 3 days), one of which we have a Spanish interpreter available. Look in your community for ways to volunteer. If you are not sure where to call, start with your State Department of Health. They can give you a list of places to contact. If that doesn't work, contact a place where people go for free HIV tests. They will know.

We need to learn more about the disease and then start creating awareness. This does not necessarily means going on the streets. Charity starts at home. We can use our knowledge and start educating people we know, our friends, neighbours, relatives, siblings, etc. We still have a lot of misconception. Lets get together and pledge to atleast do a bit. All the best.

we should be normal with them. because :
they may be HIV positive because of number of reasons.
