A survey of 65 ethnically diverse women at 2 outpatient HIV clinics revealed relatively low rates of disclosure of HIV-positive serostatus to extended family members, somewhat higher rates for immediate family members, and highest rates for lovers and friends. Spanish-speaking Latinas were less likely to disclose their serostatus or to discuss HIV-related worries with others than English-speaking Latinas, African Americans, and Anglo Americans. Reasons for disclosure and nondisclosure varied by target. In general, targets reacted positively to disclosure. Implications for clinicians treating women with HIV infection are discussed.
对两家门诊艾滋病毒诊所的65名不同种族女性进行的一项调查显示，向大家庭成员披露艾滋病毒抗体呈阳性状态的比例相对较低，向直系亲属披露的比例略高，向恋人及朋友披露的比例最高。与说英语的拉丁裔、非裔美国人和英裔美国人相比，说西班牙语的拉丁裔女性向他人披露自身血清状态或讨论与艾滋病毒相关担忧的可能性较小。披露和不披露的原因因对象而异。总体而言，对象对披露的反应是积极的。文中讨论了对治疗感染艾滋病毒女性的临床医生的启示。
