America Living With AIDS

AMERICA Living With AIDS I feel I am quite fortunate because I know how to access the system. I know all the "right" people. I know how it operates. I know what my rights are. And I know where to go for assistance, because I am a part of the system professionally. But I can tell you it is still never easy. It is particularly difficult when I have to run all over town to see the ophthalmologist, internist, dermatologist, nutritionist, et cetera, and am not feeling well and trying to hold down a full-time job at the same time. But what about the people who don't have the ability to access the system due to social, economic or educational barriers? How do they access a hostile system, a system designed to discourage their use and participation? ANDREW ZIEGLER, M.H.S.A. September 1990
