 AB    Utilizing Denzin's interpretative interactionism, this study was focused
       on the experiences of eight men and two women who were in Clinical
       Category C (AIDS) of HIV Disease. Interviews and analysis revealed their
       interpretations of the illness and the ways that they maintained hope
       while coping with end-stage HIV. There were four major ways that hope
       was maintained: by miracles, religion, involvement in work or vocations,
       and support of family and friends. These themes are discussed as they
       relate to the context of HIV within the structure of biomedicine.
