Disclosure of HIV status to family members could improve communication, relationship, and cohesion. We evaluated the impact of a family-centered program designed to increase the readiness/willingness of parents to disclose HIV status to their children. People living with HIV (PLWH) with children ≥8 years were surveyed regarding HIV knowledge, family relationship, attitudes, willingness/readiness to disclose, and they were then invited to participate in group education and family camps. Of 367 PLWH surveyed, 0.8% had disclosed, 14.7% had not yet disclosed but were willing/ready to disclose, 50.4% were willing but not ready, and 33.2% did not wish to disclose. The educational sessions and camps led to significant improvements of HIV knowledge and disclosure techniques, and readiness/willingness to disclose. Given the benefits of group education and family camps in supporting PLWH to improve their communication with their families and disclose their HIV status, these supporting activities should be included in HIV programs.
向家庭成员披露艾滋病毒感染状况可改善沟通、关系和凝聚力。我们评估了一项以家庭为中心的项目的影响，该项目旨在提高父母向其子女披露艾滋病毒感染状况的意愿/准备程度。对有8岁及以上子女的艾滋病毒感染者进行了调查，内容涉及艾滋病毒知识、家庭关系、态度、披露的意愿/准备程度，然后邀请他们参加团体教育和家庭营。在接受调查的367名艾滋病毒感染者中，0.8%已经披露，14.7%尚未披露但愿意/准备披露，50.4%愿意但尚未准备好，33.2%不想披露。教育课程和家庭营显著提高了艾滋病毒知识和披露技巧，以及披露的意愿/准备程度。鉴于团体教育和家庭营在支持艾滋病毒感染者改善与家人的沟通并披露其艾滋病毒感染状况方面的益处，这些支持活动应纳入艾滋病毒项目。
