Not only are there medical implications, even if full-blown AIDS never develops, but having HIV can also affect other aspects of life. A program at Maimonides helps patients deal with it all.

We revisit Brooklyn Hospital to see how it all works. A Pain in the Foot: Sure, you can leave the high heels at home, but sometimes foot pain means a lot more than poor shoe selection. It’s often a symptom of more serious diseases, like diabetes. The Herbalist: Sun in Bloom is a new vegan restaurant in Park Slope, and its owner, a certified herbalist, is on a mission to teach her customers that eating organic is not only tastier than you might think, but extremely healthy.From Brooklyn Independent Television's Healthbeat Brooklyn. http://www.bricartsmedia.org/bit
