我们研究了101名居住在洛杉矶的血清阳性西班牙裔男性的艾滋病毒感染自我披露。结果表明，披露是高度选择性的，可能会受到社会，心理和物质的后果，告知他人的医疗条件。受试者倾向于通知重要的人，如父母，朋友和情人，而不是不太重要的人，如雇主，房东和宗教领袖。向不治疗艾滋病毒感染者的医生/牙医披露的比例相对较高（75%）。同性恋和双性恋的主题（89%的样本）更倾向于透露他们的艾滋病毒血清状态的同性恋或双性恋比异性恋者，并告知那些谁知道他们的性取向。随着疾病严重程度的增加，披露增加，与自检测血清阳性以来的时间长短无关。自我评价的负面变化与披露不太重要的其他人。文化态度和价值观的作用，在自我披露的艾滋病毒感染进行了讨论。
We examined self-disclosure of HIV infection among 101 seropositive Hispanic men residing in Los Angeles. Results indicated that disclosure was highly selective and presumably influenced by the social, psychological, and material consequences of informing others about one's medical condition. Subjects tended to inform significant others such as parents, friends, and lovers than less significant others such as employers, landlords, and religious leaders. There was a relatively high rate of disclosure (75%) to doctors/dentists who were not treating subjects for HIV infection. Gay and bisexual subjects (89% of the sample) were more inclined to disclose their HIV serostatus to homosexual or bisexual others than to heterosexuals and to inform those who were aware of their sexual orientation. Disclosure increased with severity of disease independently of length of time since testing seropositive. Self-rated negative changes in appearance correlated with disclosure to less significant others. The role of cultural attitudes and values in self-disclosure of HIV infection is discussed.
