South Jersey AIDS Alliance CEO Carol Harney-"We Are In This Together As A Community"
For Carol Harney, CEO of South Jersey AIDS Alliance, it is all about community partnership & changing hearts and minds. With a history of her own steeped in the beginning of the AIDS epidemic, Harney has watched as education has grown and as a result, health within communities have changed. While struggling with stigma involving issues like syringe access remains a critical issue, Harney's…, Michael Cook: What does South Jersey AIDS Alliance primarily do? , Carole Harney: We are an “AIDS Service Organization”. It is a community based organization with specific roots in the AIDS epidemic. That is where we started; we are an Atlantic City charity. We grew out of the needs for AIDS services back in the mid 1980’s & have been operational since 1985. Our original purpose was education & we grew into taking care of people that were HIV positive.…, MC: So you do much more than simply medically help the HIV/AIDS community, correct? , CH: Absolutely. It’s not easy to find out you have a chronic illness like HIV if your home life is not stable. We do end up doing a lot of assistance with housing and assistance with utility assistance; basic life functions. We work to help people get stable so that they can focus on their health. , MC: So you have personally seen the AIDS epidemic through it's infancy through where it is now, correct?, CH: In the twenty five years plus that I have been here, I have lived through the process. People were walking through the door and were dying. We are so grateful and lucky that times have changed with the disease and medication, but I am still surprised. For a newly positive person, AIDS may not be their first priority; it is still where they will sleep or how will they share their diagnosis…, MC: Where are your locations?, CH: We have two offices in Atlantic City, but we are also in Cape May County and Rio Grande, as well as Vineland, Bridgeton, Camden, and have offices in three state prisons in Cumberland County. Atlantic City is our largest site, but we do versions of what we provide in Atlantic City in other locations. , MC: If you have been working with the HIV/AIDS community for twenty five years, it truly must be a passion to work with this community., CH: Absolutely. We have lived through a very different time than we have today, which also gives us focus. The hope for the future and that we will be a part of one day, ending the epidemic. , MC: To see a generation come out of the initial AIDS epidemic with the knowledge of condom and safe sex practices, and now see the onset of PREP and some members of a new generation not being as careful as they could be, & then ending up with a different set of STI’s. It must be frustrating from a care perspective. , CH: It is. And it is frustrating that we are having some of those same conversations, as well as some of the judgmental issues. Our struggles recently with syringe access feels like the struggles in the 90’s with discrimination and stigma against people that need the help. , MC: So many years later and with all of the advances that have been made medically, why do you feel that the advances made medically don’t match up with the advances our society has made in terms of stigma and stereotypes about these communities? , CH: I think we have made some advances, but think that it also has a lot to do with when it hits home with your own family. That is what we saw with the AIDS epidemic in the beginning. There was discrimination, then you started knowing people that were impacted; it changed the perspective. Active drug users are still hiding their syringe use; there is still the stigma. People are not as …, , MC: Why do you think it is important like to have community support from organizations like Garden State Equality and businesses like Ocean Casino Resort? , CH: I think it comes back to visibility. We need to have these conversations more. We need to have the conversations more and with businesses that get involved, a public statement for supporting something like syringe access, is a game changer for us. While we absolutely need funds to exist and provide service, statements can be almost more valuable. Here in Atlantic City we are being told by …, MC: Visibility only happens when people tell their stories. Shows like Pose brought people’s stories to the forefront, to an audience that may not have heard stories like this before. Would you agree? , CH: Absolutely; and I think that is how change happens. It doesn’t happen from a conversation between you and I. I could have the best intentions in the world, but it comes from moving hearts and minds and understanding that this affects real people and real lives. , , MC: What made working with the South Jersey AIDS Alliance and the community you work with daily your life’s passion? , CH: I went to college for public health and worked in family planning & women’s health, moving to HIV/AIDS. I found even more of a home with that community because of the multi-cultural community. The experiences that I have had make my life so abundant. My everyday is talking to people on my board, lawyers, doctors, and then I could sit down with the person who is needing care. I don't think…
