| Introduction | I was diagnosed with HIV on March 3rd 2010, and one month later with follow up labs was told I had also contracted Hepatitis C (non IDU). I went through HCV treatment and have cured Hep C. My HIV has remained undetectable from 2 months after starting treatment. I am unemployed and looking for work in the HIV/AIDS field. I have a bachelors degree in Health Services Management. I am a self proclaimed patient advocate for PLWHA and for my Mom who has COPD. She has just been listed with UNOS for a lung transplant at New York Presbyterian Hospital. I am very familiar with supportive services available for PLWHA and with organ donations/procurement. I have bridged many individuals to organizations and services in hometowns across the country. Since my diagnosis I have felt an inate since of duty and responsiblity to further educate the public about HIV/AIDS, help reduce stigma, and stand up for what is right. I dream of a world free of HIV/AIDS and that one day soon these acronyms will be written into history! You can e mail me at kevincaresusa@yahoo.com |
