You are the human service worker assigned to work with John. In a 2-page paper address the following:

• Identify organizations in your community that provide services to help persons diagnosed with HIV. Explain how and why these services are an appropriate resource for your client.
• Identify national organizations that might also be a resource for your client. Explain the services they provide.
