“…Some examples of the masculinity items include being in control in a relationship; having power; and being physically strong, with each item coded as not at all important through to extremely important. These scales have been validated by earlier researchers and used especially in assessing HIV vulnerabilities among the Black population in the North American context ( Wutoh et al., 2011 , Hammond et al., 2010 , Pando et al., 2013 ).…”

“…Spirituality has been positively related to coping with HIV and quality of life (Tuck, McCain, & Elswick, 2001) as well as with reduction of HIV sexual risk behaviors (Wutoh et al, 2011). Individuals’ views of God as benevolent and forgiving have predicted slower HIV disease progression (Ironson et al, 2011), and spirituality also has been identified as a resource for overcoming challenges of HIV and aging (Vance, Brennan, Enah, Smith, & Kaur, 2011).…”

With advances in HIV treatment, more individuals have grown older with the disease. Little is known about factors that have helped these survivors manage everyday life with HIV. In this exploratory, qualitative study, we asked, What has helped survivors cope with challenges of living long-term with HIV? Participants were recruited from a convenience sample of persons living with HIV (PLWH) who obtained treatment at a specialty HIV clinic; 16 long-term survivors of HIV were interviewed. Mean age was 50.13 (SD = 8.30) years; mean time from diagnosis was 16.75 (SD = 5.98) years. Results were broadly dichotomized as coping mechanisms and social supports. Three themes characterized coping mechanisms: disease coping, practical coping, and emotional coping. Social supports included themes of family, friends, professionals, peer groups, and pets. In particular, the power of patient-professional relationships and meanings derived from religion/spirituality were considered influential factors by a majority of participants.
