he is having a great deal of problems with the Social Security system.
They are saying he has an overpayment, the amount they say he owes keeps changing
and explaination for how this happened also keeps changing. As of this morning I was made
aware through the department of welfare that his monthly check is short $8
He has gone down to the Nevada office several times and spoken to the 8oo number call
center, only to get wrong answers and the constant run around. I now believe he is being
discriminated against because of his hiv status.

I believe we could all sit around and say “It’s about time” but nothing positive could possibly come from that. I am just grateful for what is being done now to stop the stigma and discrimination surrounding this disease. I am not one of those people that sits around and talks about the issue, I am actively involved in this fight and I did attend the ACRIA Training in Birmingham, Alabama. Thanks again and keep up the good work.
