488 caregivers with HIV/AIDS experience found near Powder Springs
HIV, or human immunodeficiency virus, is widely known as a sexually transmitted disease but can also be spread through blood transfusions or breast milk. HIV is a lifelong disease, and when left untreated can develop into AIDS, or acute immunodeficiency syndrome. AIDS attacks the body’s immune system, leaving it extremely vulnerable to infections and infection-related cancers. Medications called antivirals and close monitoring can control HIV and increase one’s lifespan. Early HIV symptoms resemble the flu, including fevers, fatigue, and coughing. When the disease progresses to AIDS, symptoms appear as weight loss, night sweats, frequent infections, sores, memory loss, or depression. Caregivers can assist HIV/AIDS individuals by managing pain medications, employing relaxation techniques, encouraging healthy eating, and keeping the home clean to avoid infections.

Initially, I started as a caregiver for my mother. After being laid off from my job, I was asked to help out in different capacities: transportation, companion and home health for different agencies. What I like most is being able to help someone who requires assistance. A personal achievement I'm most proud of is my clients telling me I'm a good caregiver, because it is not for everyone. After three surgeries, and requiring assistance myself, I can actually see how important it is to have a caregiver who is caring and attuned to the needs of their clients. Bottom line, I treat people the way I want to be treated and everyone does not have that mindset. I develop relationships and treat my clients like family, whereas others approach it as just a job.
