First sentence: Although it offers the opportunity for intensive closeness and love, and for renewed spirituality and growth, AIDS, as an illness, is often associated with fears and tears, stigma, pity and rejection, loneliness, hatred, anger, alienation and abandonment, dishonor, shame and guilt, frustration, disfigurement, hostility and loss of health, anxiety, depression and discrimination, secrecy and denial, reduced self-esteem, and death.
