From Tennessee-Happily engaged in 1999, Sheryl Brown was busy planning her wedding when she got sick. At first she thought it was nothing, a stress-related illness triggered by the rigors of wedding planning.
But when Brown sought treatment at a Florida hospital, the doctor asked if she’d like to take an HIV test. She obliged, and a positive result changed her life.
“How much time do I have to live?” was the first question Brown, now 48, asked.
In 2008, at the urging of her eldest daughter, Brown moved to Clarksville, Tennessee, a conservative community of 142,519 people, 40 miles northwest of Nashville just south of the Kentucky state line.
Before she moved, however, she investigated services, which she found through Nashville CARES, a nonprofit, community-based service organization that provides education, advocacy and support services to people affected by HIV and AIDS.
