Positive Living 15: Connecting Hearts and Minds: A Blog Entry by David Fawcett, Ph.D., L.C.S.W. (March 26, 2012)
"When stigma and barriers of serostatus are neutralized, a playfulness emerges. Strangers feel, and indeed are, connected in profound ways. ... This conference is one of the few places where a large group of individuals can get together and connect at the level of the heart. It is every bit as essential as daily medications."
