American Red Cross

Blood Services Southeastern Michigan Region

total of 528 Jews suf-
fering from AIDS
symptoms or their
precursor, AIDS-related
complex, received clinical
care and other forms of help
over a 12-month period from
36 Jewish family service
agencies throughout the
United States, a recent
survey disclosed.
The survey was conducted
by the Association of Jewish
Family and Childrens Agen-
cies, according to Burt
Goldberg, executive director
of the umbrella association
headquartered in Kendall
Park, N.J. Goldberg said the
association sent question-
naires to 61 of its 135
member agencies known to
be qualified to provide such
care.
Goldberg estimated that
infected Jews probably con-
stitute no more and no less
than the general population.
But. because AIDS victims
can carry the virus for years
before developing the fatal
symptoms, there is no way to
compare either the numbers
or percentages of infected
Jews and non-Jews, he said.
The survey, covering the
period Aug. 1, 1987, to July
31, 1988, revealed that 109
family members of AIDS vic-
tims received counseling in
that period and eight addi-
tional families obtained fi-
nancial aid from the family
agencies.
Of the 528 Jewish AIDS or
ARC sufferers, 26 received
financial help, 30 were pro-
vided with meals-on-wheels
and seven received home-
maker services.
Survey data showed that,
in addition, 14 of the ill
received Passover baskets;
14 received information and
referral help; two obtained
job assistance and each
received dental care and
chaplaincy visits. Jewish
agencies assisted with two
burials.
Six patients in the ter-
minal stage of their illness
received hospice counseling,
Goldberg reported.
A family agency in Spr-
ingfield, Mass., reported
that one of its programs was
Chesed House, an "indepen-
dent living facility for
homeless persons with AIDS
or ARC."
The Jewish Social Service
of Metropolitan Washington
reported that all of its ser-
vices are available to Jews

suffering from AIDS or ARC.
The agency said these in-
cluded counseling for in-
dividuals, family and
friends; home-delivered
kosher meals; escorted
transportation .to medical
appointments; home health
care; and home-based
hospice care.
The Dallas Jewish Family
Service said it facilitated
discussions among the rab-
binic community "to insure
that the issue of AIDS does
not become a gay .,issue, but
rather an issue of concern to
all Jews."
The agency reported it had
been "working closely with
the gay Jewish community
and have been using
members of the Dallas gay
chavurah as resource people
and volunteers." D
