披露艾滋病毒状态是行为改变和访问和坚持治疗的人感染艾滋病毒的一个重要组成部分。我们进行了采访，在2南非社区的种族混合相似，但有非常不同的艾滋病毒状态的披露率，发现披露是催化剂获得各种重要的，往往是必不可少的资源。在艾滋病毒感染的披露率高的社区，披露导致更多的正式机构的支持和机会，采取积极的领导作用，在community.Our研究结果突出了更广泛的社会政治背景下披露决策和艾滋病毒干预措施，以提高艾滋病毒感染的披露水平的突出地位。
Disclosure of HIV status is an essential part of behavior modification and access and adherence to treatment in people infected with HIV.We conducted interviews in 2 South African communities of similar ethnic mix but with very different rates of disclosure of HIV status and found that disclosure was the catalyst for access to a variety of important and often essential resources. In the community with high rates of disclosure of HIV infection, disclosure led to greater access to formal institutional support and opportunities to take positive leadership roles in the community.Our findings highlight the prominence of wider sociopolitical contexts for disclosure decisionmaking and the need for HIV interventions to increase levels of disclosure of HIV infection.
