The social context of living in poverty has a direct and indirect impact on a woman's health and well-being. This cross-sectional study investigates the relationship between housing and adherence to treatment, emotional wellness, environmental safety, physical health status, and risk behaviors among HIV-positive women receiving services from an AIDS service organization in the mid-South. Significant differences were found between stably housed and unstably housed women on the dependent outcome variables. Results suggest that housing services for HIV-positive women may be an effective way to increase their health and well-being as well as prevent transmission to others.
生活在贫困中的社会环境对女性的健康和幸福有着直接和间接的影响。这项横断面研究调查了居住状况与接受中南部一家艾滋病服务组织服务的艾滋病毒呈阳性女性的治疗依从性、情绪健康、环境安全、身体健康状况及风险行为之间的关系。在稳定住房和不稳定住房的女性之间，在相关结果变量上发现了显著差异。结果表明，为艾滋病毒呈阳性女性提供住房服务可能是增进她们的健康和幸福以及防止病毒传播给他人的一种有效方式。
