posted on 2024-09-06, 05:33 authored by R.A. Kangwende, J. Chirenda, R.F. MudyiradimaZimbabwe had more than 1.3 million people living with HIV and AIDS with an adult prevalence rate of 14.6% by the end of2007.1 The stresses associated with discovering that one is infected with HIV include dealing with the possibility of a long debilitating illness; an early death; loss of income; disruption of family relationships; stigma and discrimination. For people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA), receiving social support related to living with the infection requires disclosing one's HIV status to significant others.2 Family, friends and caregivers can provide support to cope with HIV care and medication.
