HIV/AIDS is very difficult to live with. Often people deal with a wide range of emotions and situations, from stigma, to fear, to anger, to despair. At Big Bend Cares, we link people who are living with HIV to needed services, as well as provide support to people affected by the disease. We also want to do all we can to stop the spread of HIV/AIDS.
