Case #4 (continued)

My mentor talked about her approach and how she handled his case, she said she tried treating him like she would with anyone else. No special attention would be needed in this case. She would push him to do things, yet she'd be straight forward and to the point. Due to this she won his trust over. He soon was diagnosed HIV positive, he had a lot of partners and continued to pursue many gay scenes. Soon after, he was positive for AIDS which he later was admitted into a hospice. My mentor assisted him to be transferred from a skilled nursing facility to a hospice where they would take better care of him. She said that she would try to make him feel better by joking around with him saying that he had a lot more makeup than she did, and would ever have.
