Mental health support: Provide access to mental health services and counseling for individuals affected by homophobia, both as victims and perpetrators. Disclosure issues are difficult for all HIV-infected clients. For substance-abusing clients, these issues take on additional challenges. For example, disclosure of positive HIV status may lead to personal threats or harm to both client and family. A client's family may refuse to associate with him upon learning of his HIV/AIDS status.
