Colleagues,
According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control, "more than 600,000 case of AIDS
have been reported in the U.S. since 1981, and as many as 900,000 Americans may be
infected with HIV. The epidemic is growing most rapidly among minority populations."
Depression, anxiety, grief, and loss are among a multitude of clinical issues affecting
those who suffer with HIV/AIDS. In today's newsletter, we have focused on HIV/AIDS
education, prevention, treatment, and support resources.
