“…Unprotected sex may occur in many forms of primary relationship, yet the accounts of discordant partners perhaps more forcefully emphasise the situated emotional importance such actions can have. Unprotected sex may be negotiated even despite the knowledge of immediate dangers being realised, even despite such actions necessarily opening up risk and uncertainty within relationships, and even despite outside popular views constituting unprotected sex between positive and negative people as morally questionable (Green 1995). It may even be considered quite remarkable that such intimacy is ever realised in discordant relationships.…”

This paper is about intimacy and its role in relationship risk management. Drawing on qualitative interviews with HIV positive people and their primary sexual partners it becomes apparent that a key tension in relationship risk management is the balance struck between`relationship safety' and`viral danger'. We find`love' and`intimacy' to be key features of relationship survival, with relationship intimacy and security signalled or strengthened by unprotected sex. Focusing oǹ discordant' partnerships in particular, we note that relationship risk management is a fragile process characterised by contradiction and anxiety, at once involving risk reduction and risk opportunity. We conclude that the intimate relationship is a prime source of everyday risk management which may be defended, even at potentially high cost, in the time of sexual epidemic. We also note that previous research has painted an overly calculative picture of risk decision-making in which the lived experiences of intimacy and emotions are largely missing.

“…Several studies have reported high rate of stigmatization among PLWHIV [97][98][99]. Many people living with HIV rather choose to avoid disclosure of their seropositive status, to even close relative due to fear of stigmatization with its accompanying negative psychological impact on the individual, such as to experience a second psychological trauma [5,6]. They have rather learned to absorb their shock alone because of possible rebound negative effects of disclosure.…”

“…Increased level of stigma and misconceptions about tuberculosis and HIV infections still persist and these have constituted enormous concern, despite the advances in treatment so far [1][2][3][4][5][6]. A mere diagnosis of these chronic medical diseases can pose serious psychological trauma for the sufferer, giving rise to varied psychiatric symptoms and comorbidities [7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26].…”

“…The street-intercept methodology provides access to segments of the urban population that are hard to reach and has a high degree of validity and reliability (Green, 1995;Miller et al, 1997;Baseman et al, 1999;Rotheram-Borus et al, 2001;Fortenberry et al, 2007). It is also used frequently in studies of sensitive topics, such as drug use and sexual behavior (Hidaka et al, 2008).…”
