POSITIVE LIVING: WHAT AND WHY
In today's world of longer life expectancy for those living with HIV/AIDS, and as we recall the days in which HIV/AIDS was a
fast-advancing and fatal condition, Okaloosa AIDS Support & Informational Services works to offer new services to the HIV
positive population. Gone are the days when our only concern was to ease the pain and suffering of those dying with HIV/AIDS.
Today, we focus our attention on improving the Quality-of-Life, and addressing the dignity of such individuals. As with all
blessings, challenges will inevitably arise. Consider the blessing of increased drug options available to those infected;
and then consider the increase in drug costs. Consider the increase in available alternate therapies, and the increasing
knowledge of how HIV works; then consider the reality of legal concerns, financial concerns, and relationship issues. The battle
against HIV reaches to every area of life. This battle, however, can be lightened. Through education, empowerment, and a
life-affirming attitude, one can begin living with HIV/AIDS, as opposed to dying from it. The challenge is no longer HIV itself; instead,
the challenge is how to take control of ones own life, acknowledge the difficulties, face each day with renewed hope, and live with the
reality that no one is alone in this battle. OASIS embraces the opportunity to collaborate with our consumer/clients, ultimately helping
them pave the road to a longer, brighter future. One example of such opportunity is the Positive Living Conference. Each year, OASIS
holds this nationally recognized consumer-focused conference. With presenters from all over the United States, Positive Living is a
relaxed, comfortable, and enjoyable educational experience beyond all compare.
