We have come so far as an LGBTQ+ community over the past 40 years, and we have made great progress. But, for too many, chemical addiction and living with HIV go hand-in-hand. As you will read from Rainbow Health’s clients Jeff and Rea in this issue, people living, and aging, with HIV continue to feel very stigmatized and alone. Their experiences are just a few of the many stories of people who turned to Rainbow Health for help.
