Why does it seem so damn hard to find a support group in my area? I have e-mailed multiple organizations in my area asking for information about support groups that according to their websites they offer and have not had a single response from any of them. Oh I take that back... I recieved an auto reply back from one organization saying that someone will be in contact with me within the next 24 hours, and guess what. Yep you are right I never heard from them.
I know in other cities have awesome support groups, so why is it so hard to find one in my city? I have had the privledge of meeting quit a few HIV + men in my area but I have not had a chance to go to a group since I left California. I think support groups are a vital and important part of HIV treatment. It gives us a chance not only to talk about issues in a place where we are less likely to be judged, but it is also a great way to find out about new treatments and care.
Sorry felt like having a rant tonight.
If anyone has any info about who I could e-mail about finding a group in Charlotte please let me know.
This is my story of how I found out I was HIV-Positive while still in the United States Marine Corps and my coming to terms with my diagnosis.
