With the availability of antiretroviral therapy, more children living with HIV live longer than before and grow into young adulthood. This study examined the concerns of youth about disclosure of an HIV diagnosis to their sexual partners and attempted to gain an understanding of their HIV status disclosure experiences, views, and plans. A focused ethnography was undertaken. Using semi-structured interviews, data were collected from 20 youth between the ages of 15 and 24 years who were attending an HIV clinic. The findings highlight that youth generally struggled to disclose their HIV status to their sexual partners. The most frequent reasons for concealing their HIV status was fear of relationship termination, being unmarried, and fear that their sexual partners may reveal their HIV diagnosis to the community, thereby predisposing them to stigmatization, discrimination, and prejudice. There is a need to develop and strengthen HIV disclosure support groups for youth to help them develop life skills for overcoming HIV-related stigma.
随着抗逆转录病毒疗法的出现，更多感染艾滋病毒的儿童比以往活得更长，并成长为年轻成年人。本研究调查了青少年对向性伴侣披露艾滋病毒诊断的担忧，并试图了解他们披露艾滋病毒感染状况的经历、观点和计划。开展了一项聚焦民族志研究。通过半结构化访谈，从20名年龄在15至24岁之间、前往艾滋病毒诊所就诊的青少年中收集了数据。研究结果表明，青少年普遍难以向性伴侣披露自己的艾滋病毒感染状况。隐瞒艾滋病毒感染状况最常见的原因是担心关系终止、未婚，以及担心性伴侣可能会向社区透露他们的艾滋病毒诊断，从而使他们容易受到污名化、歧视和偏见。有必要为青少年建立和加强艾滋病毒披露支持小组，以帮助他们培养克服与艾滋病毒相关污名的生活技能。
