了解艾滋病毒感染者和艾滋病患者的自我披露情况，可以为治疗和支持策略提供信息，但越南妇女的自我披露模式却鲜为人知。我们对12名艾滋病毒阳性妇女进行了访谈，确定了影响向家庭成员披露情况的三个主要因素：父系居住地、保护自己家庭的愿望和经济支持的需要。对公公婆婆和自己父母的依赖或独立显著影响妇女的信息披露决策。我们认为，我们的研究结果揭示了越南家庭中耻辱和披露的复杂相互作用，强调需要采取具体的社会措施，促进自我披露，并结合家庭对女性艾滋病毒携带者的支持。
Insights into disclosure by people living with HIV and AIDS (PLWHA) can inform strategies for treatment and support, yet Vietnamese women's self-disclosure patterns are poorly understood. We conducted interviews with 12 HIV-positive women, identifying three principal factors influencing disclosure to family members: patrilocal residence, desire to protect own family, and the need for financial support. Women's decision-making about disclosure was significantly affected by dependence on or independence of parents-in-law and their own parents. We believe that our findings reveal the complex interplay of stigma and disclosure within Vietnamese families, highlighting the need for specific social measures that promote self-disclosure combined with family support for female PLWHA.
