An article in the Atlanta Journal on June 15, 1898, described a
support group specifically for women - mothers, female
relatives and female health-care workers of PWAs - and described
some common experiences women often have in dealing with guilt,
frustration, anger, and solitude of their own. Having no place
to turn, this group was formed in the Atlanta area.
A sidebar to the article listed many resources for people with
AIDS and their parents and relatives. These are activities
located in and around the Atlanta, Georgia area.
