Very little research has been conducted focusing on regret associated with disclosing either HIV-positive serostatus or sexual orientation information. The purpose of this study was to investigate the prevalence of regret related to the disclosure of serostatus and sexual orientation to family members among HIV-positive men who have sex with men (MSM) and to further explore the participant, family member, and relationship characteristics that influence the likelihood of experiencing regret. Almost half of participants indicated no regret with the disclosure of either HIV-positive serostatus or sexual orientation. Among those that did experience some regret, the prevalence of regret with at least one family member was similar for HIV-positive serostatus (39.4%) and for sexual orientation (37.3%). Suggestions for professionals working with HIV-positive MSM and implications for future research are presented.
针对与披露艾滋病毒阳性血清状况或性取向信息相关的遗憾开展的研究非常少。本研究的目的是调查男男性行为者(MSM)中向家庭成员披露血清状况和性取向相关遗憾的发生率,并进一步探究影响产生遗憾可能性的参与者、家庭成员及关系特征。几乎一半的参与者表示,在披露艾滋病毒阳性血清状况或性取向方面没有遗憾。在那些确实有一些遗憾的人中,至少对一名家庭成员感到遗憾的发生率在艾滋病毒阳性血清状况(39.4%)和性取向(37.3%)方面相似。本文还为与艾滋病毒阳性男男性行为者合作的专业人员提供了建议以及对未来研究的启示。
