According to this article, a Maryland pharmacist saw a need for a support group for people living with HIV in his county. Hagerstown is a fair size city, about 40K not counting the surrounding area. My area not having HIV support groups is annoying & can make things difficult. Still, it's a very rural area. But some place the size of Hagerstown, Maryland is just weird. It's within a couple of hours of Baltimore & DC.
This pharmacist became accredited as an HIV pharmacist. He established a support group. The man deserves recognition. But so does the fact, that today in non-rural areas people living with HIV still have little to no support. It's time we get past the stigma of HIV & make sure all those effected or impacted by the virus have the support & resources they need.
Cya...
