Abstract

The unique experience of HIV/AIDS among rural women in the United
States was explored using qualitative interviews with 7 women who are
HIV positive. Based on these interviews, eight themes emerged. These
included (a) daily powerful emotions, (b) emotional and physical
abandonment, (c) romantic betrayal, (d) medical treatment issues, (e) loss
and grief, (f) appreciating a good support system, (g) renewed purpose for
living, and (h) personal growth and transformation. Results are discussed
with regard to future research and practice with rural women with
HIV/AIDS, with an emphasis on the importance of social support and
counseling opportunities in facilitating women's progress through the
emotional process associated with HIV/AIDS diagnosis and treatment.
