AB The experiences and adaptation of 8 women who were heterosexually
infected with the HIV were examined. An interview schedule consisting of
open-ended questions was used to elicit a full range of responses. Roy's
(1984) adaptation model, focusing on physiological needs, self-concept,
role-function, and interdependence provided the structure for analysis
of each transcript. The interviews indicated that the women who had
strong social and family support were coping better with their situation
than were women who had little support. The interview responses also
showed a lack of professional comportment among health care
professionals in their contact with women who are HIV positive,
indicating a need for further investigation of health care workers'
knowledge and understanding of the needs of HIV-positive women. To plan
effective programs, health care professionals need to identify the
specific needs of each woman from a holistic perspective.
