TI HIV infected women and their experiences: a pilot study into issues of
abuse.
DT 9412
AU Gregonis S; Grant C; St. Christopher's Hospital for Children,
Philadelphia, PA.
SO Int Conf AIDS. 1994 Aug 7-12;10(1):382 (abstract no. PD0136). Unique
Identifier : AIDSLINE ICA10/94370480
AB OBJECTIVE: A previous study conducted by the author (International
Conference on AIDS, Berlin, 1993) revealed that clinical data of women
receiving care in a comprehensive family centered HIV clinic in a
pediatric hospital were volunteering information about their own
histories of abuse during routine office visits. Critical to the care of
the HIV infected woman is an understanding of her psychosocial needs in
context with her cultural background, and her support systems. METHODS:
A pilot study was conducted that concentrated on issues of abuse.
RESULTS: The results revealed that more than half (55%) of the women
responded in the affirmative that they had experienced some form of
abuse in their lives. Data also revealed that the women described
difficulties in the negotiation of sexual behaviors as well as
negotiating condom usage. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION: Further assessment
of these women's histories and stressors will allow clinicians to link
evaluations to specifically tailored interventions.
