AB This paper reviews research and clinical literature relevant to the
question of disclosure of diagnosis to children with human
immunodeficiency virus (HIV) or acquired immunodeficiency syndrome
(AIDS). The model of pediatric oncology, in which much research already
exists, is evaluated for its applicability to HIV and AIDS. Although
children seem to benefit from early disclosure of diagnosis of
life-threatening illnesses, special cultural and social conditions
complicate the question with regard to HIV and AIDS. These conditions
include the parent-to-child transmission of HIV and the unique social
stigma of having HIV because of its association with homosexuality, drug
use, and sexual conduct. The paper presents existing treatment
approaches and suggests avenues for further research.
