“…In some of these studies, social support was associated with clinic attendance (Waldrop-Valverde, Guo, Ownby, Rodriguez, & Jones, 2014) and delayed time to care (McCoy et al, 2009). In other studies, there were no significant relationships of social support with ART adherence (Sagarduy, Lopez, Remirez, & Davila, 2017), entry into care (Williams, Shahryarinejad, Andrews, & Alcabes, 1997), viral load or ART adherence (Attonito, Devieux, Lerner, Hospital, & Rosenberg, 2014;Safren et al, 2014). However, in the Friedman et al (2017) study, social support was associated negatively with viral load and in the work of Leserman et al (2002), less social support predicted HIV disease progression.…”

We use a socioecological model of health to define resilience, review the definition and study of resilience among persons living with human immunodeficiency virus (PLWH) in the existing peer-reviewed literature, and discuss the strengths and limitations of how resilience is defined and studied in HIV research. We conducted a review of resilience research for HIV-related behaviors/outcomes of antiretroviral therapy (ART) adherence, clinic attendance, CD4 cell count, viral load, viral suppression, and/or immune functioning among PLWH. We performed searches using PubMed, PsycINFO and Google Scholar databases. The initial search generated 14,296 articles across the three databases, but based on our screening of these articles and inclusion criteria, n = 54 articles were included for review. The majority of HIV resilience research defines resilience only at the individual (i.e., psychological) level or studies individual and limited interpersonal resilience (e.g., social support). Furthermore, the preponderance of HIV resilience research uses general measures of resilience; these measures have not been developed with or tailored to the needs of PLWH. Our review suggests that a socioecological model of health approach can more fully represent the construct of resilience. Furthermore, measures specific to PLWH that capture individual, interpersonal, and neighborhood resilience are needed. ARTICLE HISTORY

“…Williams et al (1997) found that women (n = 92) in their study relied on young children for comfort. Women in the study by Butz et al (1993) said they did not keep appointments because they feared being identified at the clinic, dreaded the prolonged waiting periods for first appointments, and were constrained by priorities such as drug use or pursuit of financial and housing assistance.…”

“…As women continue to be one of the ranking subgroups infected and affected by HIV disease (Williams, Shahryaniejad, & Andrews, 1997), they bring with them experiences and needs quite different from the needs of other populations. Many are mothers concerned about who will provide for and take care of their children if they die (Hackl, Somlai, Kelly, & Kalichman, 1997).…”

Women with HIV are a growing at-risk population in our communities. They are often poor members of minority groups who have responsibilities for dependent children and other family members. They may experience physiological, psychological, and social symptoms and have needs that are unique to them as women. The purpose of this study was to give women with HIV the opportunity to identify their needs. Using the Objects Content Test, 48 women attending HIV clinics in a midsouth city listed 349 needs: 32% psychosocial, 14% physical, 13% service and maintenance, and 11% financial and legal. It is important for nurses working with these women in the community to know how they perceive their own needs and issues to plan and provide effective health care programs for this growing group of clients.

“…Fear of disclosure has been found in other work among HIV-positive women. 28,29 However, one caveat in the potential for health care to mitigate barriers to prenatal care is the discrimination and stigmatization experienced by these women. Discrimination in the health care system against HIVinfected women, including inappropriate infection control practices and concerns related to confidentiality, has been documented elsewhere.…”

In an effort to understand issues affecting prenatal care access and utilization from the perspectives of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected women who receive inadequate prenatal care, we conducted three in-depth qualitative and quantitative interviews. From a thematic analysis of the narrative interviews, four broad areas emerged as pertinent to these women's prenatal care experiences. These were issues related to pregnancy, HIV, psychosocial conditions, and the health care system. For these women, the barriers to prenatal care utilization included the unexpected and unplanned nature of the pregnancy and mental health issues related to HIV infection. Poverty, periodic homelessness, addiction to illicit substances, and lack of social support were also important barriers. Furthermore, perceptions of the health care system as threatening, including fears related to consequences of disclosing illicit activities, discrimination, and breach of confidentiality emerged as salient barriers. Facilitating factors included the pregnancy being experienced as a life-transforming event, concern for their children, especially preventing HIV-1 vertical transmission, availability of treatment, and support from health care professionals. Prominent throughout the interviews were the women's mental health concerns and need for professional support.
