The Northwest Arkansas Positive Links Support Network is a peer to peer support network for those living with and affected by HIV/AIDS.
If you have recently been diagnosed with HIV or AIDS you may have questions that keep your mind twirling and you may experience a range of unsettling emotions. There is help available, and you do not have to manage this difficult time on your own. Within the support network you will find a group of people willing to just "be there"; people who have been in your shoes and know how you feel. You're not alone, and the first step to finding peace of mind, and hope for living life on the "positive side" is by connecting with a network of people just like yourself. Maybe you have been HIV positive for a number of years, if so, your insight would be a tremendous help to the recently diagnosed.
You will never have to worry about "fitting in" because the common thread that binds the entire group together is a medical condition and not one's sexual orientation or identity.
The reality of living with HIV/AIDS can be challenging, but you can meet it with vitality and courage through the NWA Positive Links Support Network of caring and loving friends. If you need to talk to someone or have questions about our program please call our toll free 24 hour confidential phone # 1-888-802-3332.
testimonial
"When I was first diagnosed with HIV, I felt like I was the only one on the planet with the disease. I was scared and felt very much alone. I was even rejected by people when they learned of my diagnosis. After months of dealing with it on my own, I overheard a conversation about Positive Links and asked about it. Now I have a group of friends that I can relate to, people who care about me, and treat me with dignity." -Michael
