I recently found out that a family member was diagnosed with aids. She is from arizona and has recently moved here to tennessee to live with my parents. I feel that there has not been enough thought given to anything other than getting her here - there hasnt been any plans made as to who her doctor will be or anything. No one has any idea what to expect during this illness. I am very angry that this is all being taken so lightly and feel like if I dont do something nothing will get done at all. But I will be the first to admit that I just don't know what to do. I was wondering if anyone could tell me what to expect and what I should do to get her the help she needs- because as I said I don't think it will get done unless I do it. And I can hardly expect her to as she is mentally retarded. I am ready and willing to do as much as I possibly can to help her. I just don't know where to even start. Please help.

First of all set her up for a visit with an id doctor. Then while you are there talk with the social worker. You can also get the help you need by contacting your local aids organization in your area.
