In rural areas, they don't usually have support groups so I was thinking to start one.

@Y rawlings Young lady I commend you on starting a support group in your area. I know how hard it is for support groups in rural areas & with funding cuts coming down the pike it's much more needed than ever before. If you can find funds from anywhere to help you DO IT! We need as many people knowledgeable about the concerns in their area & make those concerns heard without putting anyone's name or face out there that's not willing is needed. We don't get to hear from you so no one thinks there;s a problem. Write your public officials about yours concerns. If you have people that don't mind having their faces out there, educate, encourage & empower them. We have a big fight on our hands & we need ever voice possible. So they won't take away what little you do have in your area because they don't hear you & we don't hear you either till now. We have to remove STIGMA from HIV/AIDS so we all can REALLY BREATHE.

I'm going to be on this site more, so If I can direct you in any way please let me know. If I can't do it, We'll find someone who can.

Once again my sister, I THANK YOU for this journey you're about to or have taken. Say right & say proud so we all can hear you.
