HIV and Animals - More than just a Pet

As companions, pets do so many wonderful things; from fuzzy friends to emotional supports. We invited our guests to share how having a pet or service animal has improved their quality of life while living with chronic disease.

Positively Speaking is a project by Casey House hospital, visit our website to learn more.

Special thanks again to David Matta for audio engineering season 2 of Positively Speaking, and Nick Nausbaum for composing the music.
