To Our Friends in the
Fight Against AIDS:
The AIDS epidemic has changed the lives of thousands of
people all across Wisconsin. From Superior to Kenosha
and Green Bay to Eau Claire, people living with HIV have
struggled to regain their health, defeat stigma and isolation,
find financial stability and build purposeful lives.
Their courageous experiences are inspirational and we are pleased to
share their stories with you in our 2008 ARCW Annual Report. Some
were near death when they were diagnosed with HIV, many were alone
and all of them were afraid of what the future would hold.
Today, they are living proof that with quality health care and comprehensive
social services, a person with HIV can have a long and healthy life.
We are proud the ARCW Medical Center has grown to be Wisconsin’s
largest provider of HIV medical, dental and mental health services.
By integrating our food, housing, legal and case management services, the ARCW Medical Center has become an impressive medical
home for more than 1,500 HIV patients.
We are deeply grateful to the 6,064 individuals, corporations, foundations and United Way agencies that made donations in 2008 and
for continuing support from the public sector that makes the ARCW Medical Center and all our services possible. The personal stories
you are about to read are living proof that your donations make a world of difference.
Thank you!
Doug Nelson Anthony W. Bartell
President & CEO Chair of the Board of Directors

I am living proof...
...that the ARCW Medical Center helps
you achieve a long and healthy life.
Maurice Jenkins walked into ARCW 20 years ago looking for help. He had just
been diagnosed with AIDS and had no idea what the future would hold for him.
He was worried about how long he had to live and was afraid to talk with people
about it because of the overwhelming stigma that came with AIDS at that time.
What Maurice couldn’t envision on that day was 20 years later he would be a long-term
survivor and the ARCW Medical Center would be his medical home for the expert HIV care
and treatment that would help him achieve a long and healthy life.
“I came to ARCW not really knowing
what I would find,” Maurice says.
“I just knew I needed someone
who cared enough to help me.
Looking back over all these years,
the doctors, dentists, therapists and
case managers at ARCW just kept
helping and helping and helping.”
“It’s like home when I walk into
ARCW now. I’m treated with such
respect. It’s an amazing place where
I can get my medical and dental
care, mental health counseling when
I need it, good food from the food
pantry and even some help with my
housing costs.”
Maurice is not only a long-time
patient at the ARCW Medical Center,
he is its greatest ambassador,
encouraging people who are newly
diagnosed with HIV to seek their
treatment from the medical, dental
and mental health providers he has
come to know.
“They provide me with outstanding
care and constant encouragement
to keep my appointments, follow
my treatment plan and strive
for my health. They, along with
God, are the reason I’m alive and
healthy today.”
“I tell everyone I know about the
ARCW Medical Center because
I want them to get the help they
need so they can all be long-term
survivors like me.”

Beth Bye was a mystery to her doctor. She continually sought treatment for chronic
sickness and exhaustion that couldn’t be explained. After many diagnostic tests,
her doctor still couldn’t pinpoint a cause of her illness.
Despite the fact Beth didn’t fit the profile of someone at risk for HIV infection,
her doctor suggested an HIV test. It was 1992, the year Beth was diagnosed with AIDS.
“I had already progressed to AIDS
and was very sick,” Beth says.
“Back then people with AIDS were
not given a long time to live and I
was already beyond that time.”
Three years later, Beth was diagnosed
with cytomegalovirus retinitis and
was told she had only six months
to live. Her case manager at ARCW
identified a hospice program in
Wausau for her and helped her apply
for disability income.
“My life looked pretty grim. I had a
T-cell count of 13 and had started
naming them after my friends,”
Beth says with a smile.
But after a series of medical
treatments and continuous support
from her case manager, Beth
regained her health. Today Beth is
at the peak of health with hundreds
of T-cells — far too many to name.
“Throughout all the years living with
HIV, my case manager has been
there for me, making sure I was
getting all the care, treatment and
financial resources I needed. The
case managers, the attorneys who
solve legal issues and the people
in the food pantry at ARCW are
wonderfully compassionate people
who truly have made a world of
difference in my life.”
Today, Beth does a lot of traveling
to speak about her life with HIV,
especially in small towns and rural
areas of Wisconsin. As a participant
in the national AIDS Watch advocacy
effort, Beth has made several trips
to Washington, D.C. to promote
enlightened AIDS policy directly to
members of Congress.
“I’m so grateful for the support
of ARCW, which has helped me
overcome HIV and do the advocacy
work I love. It means so much to me
to be able to lend my voice to help
others with HIV so they may live
their lives to the fullest.”

Arlen Stehsel was given the last rites by his priest in a Green Bay hospital room in
2002. He had been diagnosed with AIDS, weighed only 102 pounds and was sure
he had come to the end of his life.
Today, Arlen has his health back and weighs a healthy 150 pounds. His journey
back to health hasn’t been easy. Arlen’s partner of 18 years passed away, he lost his job
and he neglected his oral health so much he lost his upper teeth and needed restorative
dental care to save the teeth that remained.
That’s when Arlen turned to the
ARCW Dental Clinic in Green Bay
where he received comprehensive
dental care that included a full upper
denture, a lower partial denture and
13 fillings in teeth that were saved.
“Every time I come to the ARCW
Dental Clinic I feel welcomed and
supported. It’s amazing — I think I
actually enjoy going to the dentist
now,” Arlen says.
“I thank God every day that ARCW
has a dental clinic in Green Bay. I
have never been treated with more
respect by a dental staff than at
ARCW. They care about me and my
HIV status. And look what they’ve
done for me, they’ve given me a
great new smile.”
Arlen’s improved oral health also
enhances his self-confidence
which helped him quit smoking
and drinking and take steps
necessary to regain his overall
health.
“ARCW has helped me take
back my life. And now, I live life
believing I will die of old age
before I will ever die from AIDS.”

Tanya Jones has a lot to live for. She is the mother of an eleven-year-old daughter
and a sixteen-year-old son. For Tanya and her family, life has always been full of
promise.
In 1996 that promise faded when Tanya was diagnosed with HIV.
“As a woman with HIV in Superior
there are a lot of times I feel very
isolated and alone, like I am the
only one,” Tanya says. “And that’s
when my ARCW case manager has
made all the difference for me. He
puts in perspective the challenges
I face and helps me find the right
path to solve my problems.”
Tanya’s journey with HIV has been
challenging. Tanya stopped taking
her medications because the side
effects were so difficult. She
began losing weight, getting sick
frequently and losing her health.
“I didn’t recognize myself when I
looked in the mirror and I wasn’t sure
what to do or where to turn. I thought
for sure I was going to die.”
Ultimately, Tanya turned to ARCW
and enrolled in its case management
program.
“I get tremendous support and
outstanding advice from my case
manager. He helps me make the
best decisions for my health and my
family.”
“Even the little things help, like
the holiday food baskets which
are so thoughtful. With ARCW in
Superior, I know I’m not alone in
dealing with HIV.”
Tanya has regained her health and
knows that her life is full of promise
once again.
“I’m so healthy now. I know I will
be here to see my son and daughter
grow up and that means the world
to me.”

Thomas was diagnosed with HIV in 2005. His immune system was severely
weakened and he was in great need of medical care and support services.
At a young age, Thomas began
using drugs and having sex with
many partners. They were choices
he made that ultimately resulted in
his HIV diagnosis.
“I made some mistakes when I was
young that I must live with today.
But, I’m very fortunate to be living
in Eau Claire where ARCW offers
so many HIV services that are so
helpful to me. I get great support

financial assistance to help with

“But it’s the ARCW Food Pantry
that’s really great. It always has
healthy and delicious food like
fresh fruits and vegetables, meats,
canned foods and even good pizza.
It’s the best food pantry in town.”
Thomas dedicates a lot of time
volunteering at ARCW and helping
others in Eau Claire who are battling
addiction and mental health
concerns.
“I’m thankful for the non-judgmental
approach of the ARCW staff. They
have helped me put my past behind
me and move on with confidence
to help others. I don’t know what I
would do without them.”

Don Rogers began having unusual and unexplained bouts of illness in 2001. Within
the span of just one year he was diagnosed with pneumonia six times.
“I was very sick and very frustrated that I couldn’t identify the cause of it all,”
Don says. “When I moved to Wisconsin in 2002 I was urged to take an HIV test
and that’s when I found out I had full-blown AIDS, my immune system was depleted with
a T-cell count of only 4 and that I had hepatitis C.”
“At first, I was relieved to finally know
what was wrong with my health. But
then it set in that I was going to die.
I thought about my family and felt
so badly that I wouldn’t be able to
watch my grandchildren grow up.”
Don came to ARCW as soon as
he was diagnosed with AIDS. He
was assigned a case manager who
quickly helped him find an infectious
disease physician for medical care
and then helped him overcome
the high cost of HIV medications
through enrollment in the Wisconsin
AIDS Drug Assistance Program.
“I will never forget the help I got
right away from ARCW. I was really
at a loss as to what to do about my
AIDS diagnosis, but they got me on
track with quality health care and
medications I could afford.”
Throughout the past eight years Don
has used many different services
including the ARCW Dental Clinic
and ARCW Food Pantry in Green
Bay, housing assistance and legal
counsel from attorneys at the ARCW
legal services program.
Today, Don’s T-cell count is high, his
immune system is strong and his
treatments for HIV and hepatitis C
are successful.
“It’s hard to find the words to
explain how important ARCW is to
me. I’ve learned so much from them
about managing my health which
helps me focus on the fun things
in life like when my grandchildren
come to visit.”
“I am so blessed to have meaningful
relationships in my life with my
family and friends. My life is good
— and it continues to get better.”

Helen Peterson has a standing appointment to see her ARCW mental health
therapist.
“I like to come in regularly,” the 56-year-old grandmother of three says.
“We talk about my problems and she helps me put them in perspective. She
lifts my spirits.”
Helen learned she was HIV-positive
in 1985. “I was shocked and very
upset and didn’t know what to do,”
she says.
In 1990, following the death of her
husband, Helen decided to start
a new life with her three children
and moved to Kenosha. She was
immediately referred to ARCW where
she has received comprehensive care
and treatment services ever since.
At the ARCW Medical Center in

“They really take care of me
so well, always explaining my

and what kind of side effects I
might have.”
Helen also visits the ARCW Food
Pantry regularly and recently
received a full set of dentures from
the ARCW Dental Clinic.
“I needed dental care so I asked
my case manager if she could
find a dentist for me. She got me
an appointment right away at the
ARCW Dental Clinic. I really enjoyed
going there, they were so kind and
they did such a wonderful job with
my mouth.”
With all the important services Helen
receives at ARCW, it is the time
she spends with her mental health
therapist at the ARCW Behavioral
Health and Wellness Clinic that she
says is so valuable.
“I can talk with her when I’m feeling
low and she always cheers me up.
Sometimes I feel as though I don’t
have HIV at all because I feel so
good about myself.”

Brian Kipp has had an unusual journey to get to his new home in Madison. He was
born in Chicago, grew up in northern Wisconsin, was diagnosed with HIV, served
a seven-year prison sentence and upon his release from prison moved to Madison
to start a new life.
“I was determined to start all over and have a good life,” Brian says. “But I needed help.
Ever since I found out I had HIV 14 years ago, ARCW has always been helpful to me so I
turned to them again.”
As part of his discharge planning
from prison, Brian talked with the
ARCW housing case manager in
Madison and asked for help in
finding affordable housing.
“Not only did he find me a nice
place to live, he also helped me
get a job. He was so helpful in
getting me back on my feet in a
new community.”
Brian also appreciates the
collaboration that his ARCW housing
case manager has with the staff at
AIDS Network in Madison.
“I’m really impressed by how well
the staff work together to help me.
I think their cooperation contributes
to my good health.”
Recently Brian encountered a
setback when the recession caused
layoffs at his workplace and he lost
his job. Immediately, Brian received
rent assistance from the ARCW
housing program to make sure he
could keep his home while searching
for a new job.
“The housing assistance I get from
ARCW has been a godsend. With
the help of ARCW I really do have
confidence about the future and
building a new life.”

Jim Bertolini is a survivor. Since 1991 he has battled HIV and endured a rollercoaster
life that brought him to the depths of despair and all the way back to a purposeful
and enjoyable life.
“When I was younger and before I was diagnosed with HIV, I was a very confident,
self-assured person,” Jim says. “I played rugby in college, enjoyed my studies and felt like
I had everything going for me.”
“When I found out I was HIV-
positive, my life just fell apart. I felt
all alone and I didn’t believe I could
handle the heavy burden of having
AIDS. I began drinking too much
and abusing drugs and assumed
that I would soon be dead.”
It was at this desperate time in
his life that Jim turned to ARCW
in La Crosse for help. When he
met his case manager he found a
professional who understood his
troubles, and gave him hope and a
strategy for improving his life. He
got his health care benefits secured,
received financial assistance to help
pay his rent, gained legal counsel to
solve some problems and joined a
support group.
Jim wasn’t alone with HIV
anymore. With the supporting
services of ARCW, he regained
his confidence and charted a new
course for his life.
Today, Jim is building a women’s
rugby program at Viterbo College
and spending time speaking at
schools about HIV prevention and
working with troubled teens sharing
the hope and confidence he has
learned in his personal journey with
HIV.
“My life is going so well now. With
the help of ARCW, I know how to
manage HIV in my life. I’m a survivor
and I know I’m going to live a long
time and enjoy a lot of rugby. I’m
looking forward to that.”

Jimi Reinke
ARCW Prevention Specialist
Madison
I am living proof...
...that ARCW prevention programs save lives.
For the past 10 years Jimi Reinke has been saving lives. Every morning he stops at
his ARCW office to load his van with clean needles and heads to the streets where
he greets the people whose lives he is determined to save.
They are injection drug users who are at high risk for HIV and hepatitis C. Jimi
knows them all by name, and they know him because he is the man who cares about
whether they live or die.
“Three kids overdosed on heroin in a park in [a] picturesque little town
of about 5,000 people. One almost died. He probably would have if a local
heroin addict hadn’t been nearby with a drug called Narcan. Narcan is an
‘opioid antagonist’ which police say he used to revive the boy.…
Thank God…for the well-intended folks from Madison who now bring
clean needles to this little town and hand them out to the addicts so that,
at least, they don’t give each other AIDS and die that way.”
— Columnist Mike Nichols, Milwaukee Journal Sentinel (June 13, 2009)
“The ARCW [needle exchange] program began in 1994, one of the Midwest’s first.
Needle exchanges have reduced HIV transmission among drug users nationally,
and doubly so in Wisconsin. In 2006, injection drug use accounted for 12 percent
of new HIV infections nationally, but just 6 percent in Wisconsin.”
— Columnist Barbara Miner, Milwaukee Magazine (May 2009)
Jimi is a dedicated member of a team
of 16 ARCW prevention specialists who
conduct clean needle exchange in 11
cities throughout Wisconsin. Known as
Lifepoint, it is the largest statewide clean
needle exchange program in the country.
Since it’s inception in 1994, annual HIV
infection rates among injection drug users
have been reduced by 66 percent.
“As a gay man, I began this work wanting
to do everything I could to help prevent
the spread of HIV,” Jimi says. “It is such
a joy to know that for every person I reach
with Lifepoint, I am helping them stay HIV
and hepatitis free.”
Jimi leads the Lifepoint program in southern
Wisconsin from Beloit to Madison to
Wisconsin Dells. During the past 10 years
he has exchanged more than 500,000
needles, conducted thousands of HIV and
hepatitis C tests and helped hundreds of
drug users get into treatment.
“One thing I’ve learned is that good AIDS
prevention programs such as Lifepoint
really do save lives.”
Jimi has also integrated an overdose
prevention service with Lifepoint that
uses the drug Narcan to safely reverse
the effects of a heroin overdose. He
has trained 227 drug users on how to
administer Narcan in the event of a
possible overdose death. Throughout
Wisconsin this unique ARCW program
has saved 446 lives from overdose
death.
“I love what I do. It’s just a great feeling
to help people who are going through a
difficult time get back on their feet and
have another chance at life.”
