| description | In-depth interviews were conducted with 42 HIV-positive fisherfolk and 15
health care providers to identify experiences of social support and its influence
on access to and use of HIV testing, treatment, and care. Fisherfolk
participants reported receiving support at some point. Prior to HIV diagnosis,
this usually took the form of advice on what illness they were dealing
with and remedies to use. After HIV diagnosis and disclosure to friends or
family, emotional support enabled fisherfolk to come to terms with an HIV
diagnosis, informational support offered guidance on how best to live with
HIV, while instrumental support enabled access to relevant HIV services.
Finally, affiliative support, in the form of new friends met through HIV
clinic visits, provided a sense of belonging. Each of these different kinds
of support assisted fisherfolk to respond positively to HIV with important
consequences for secondary and tertiary prevention. |
