Living with HIV: Mark's Story
Mark talks about the challenges of receiving a diagnosis of HIV, and how his employer made a significant impact on his wellness.
Description
Living with HIV has changed considerably since the epidemic began in the 1980s. Although still a chronic condition, when treated and managed with medication, people with HIV can lead as healthy and as fulfilling a life as anyone else. However, the stigma surrounding the condition remains significant, and the journey to wellness is not without its emotional and physical complications.
