Living With HIV - April 16, 2008

Pharmacist Becky Kolodchak,

Specialist in HIV Drug Therapies

What do you know about HIV? In the more than 25 years since the virus was officially recognized, HIV/AIDS has gone from front page news to an occasional article in the health section. Did you know that women are being infected at a greater rate than men, not only in the developing world but in the United States as well? Did you know that African American and Hispanic populations are most at risk? Is HIV/AIDS now a chronic disease? What treatments are available? How much do they help? What quality of life do people with HIV experience? Is there a vaccine on the horizon?

The answers to these questions are important to all of us, whether we’re gay or straight, male or female. Everyone who is sexual active may be at risk. Come to our April 16th meeting and learn what to tell your gay and straight children, family and friends about the disease that we all, in one way or another, live with.

With ten years experience specializing in HIV drug therapies, Becky Kolodchak will discuss the latest in HIV prevention, diagnosis and treatment, describing recent advances and promising developments.

The discussion and question answer segment of our meeting will be followed by our regular “rap” groups where people can share concerns, questions and understanding about sexual orientation with trained facilitators. These groups are confidential and open to everyone interested in exploring the issues raised for them and their families by sexual and gender differences.
