The purpose of this study was to explain the dynamic interplay between gay couples who were infected/affected by HIV infection and their social environments, as defined by heterosexism. Descriptive and analytic methods were used. The sample consisted of nine couples in which at least one man was diagnosed with symptomatic HIV infection or AIDS. Although study participants explained their experiences using the term "homophobia," their experiences as a family based on interpersonal commitment could also be understood in the context of heterosexism. Interpersonal commitment was a means to resist the constraints imposed by heterosexism.
本研究的目的是解释受异性恋主义定义的感染/受艾滋病毒感染影响的男同性恋伴侣与其社会环境之间的动态相互作用。采用了描述性和分析性方法。样本包括九对伴侣，其中至少有一名男性被诊断出患有有症状的艾滋病毒感染或艾滋病。尽管研究参与者用“恐同症”一词来解释他们的经历，但他们基于人际承诺的家庭经历也可以在异性恋主义的背景下得到理解。人际承诺是一种抵制异性恋主义所施加限制的手段。
