Most studies have indicated that friends or families of choice provide more support to HIV-positive men who have sex with men (MSM) than members of the family of origin. The creation of families of choice by MSM has been viewed as a means of creating a support system in the absence of traditional family. The purpose of this study is to explore if HIV-positive MSM believe family of origin is important. Data were drawn from a qualitative study of HIV disclosure to family. Responses to the question, "How important is family to you?" are explored. Results suggest that for many HIV-positive MSM, relationships with family of origin are very important. While not definitive, data to be presented are provocative and challenge notions of the significance of family of origin to marginalized populations.
大多数研究表明,相较于原生家庭的成员,艾滋病病毒阳性的男男性行为者(MSM)的朋友或伴侣会为他们提供更多的支持。MSM 创造选择型家庭被视为在缺乏传统家庭的情况下创建支持系统的一种方式。本研究旨在探讨艾滋病病毒阳性的 MSM 是否认为原生家庭很重要。本研究的数据来自对艾滋病病毒向家庭披露的定性研究。本文探讨了“家庭对你来说有多重要?”这一问题的回答。研究结果表明,对于许多艾滋病病毒阳性的 MSM 来说,与原生家庭的关系非常重要。虽然不是定论,但即将呈现的数据具有启发性,挑战了边缘化群体原生家庭重要性的观念。
