通过五个非洲国家（莱索托、马拉维、南非、斯威士兰和坦桑尼亚）的焦点小组探讨了艾滋病毒和艾滋病感染者的状况和人权。采用描述性定性研究设计。251名受访者是艾滋病毒感染者和艾滋病患者，以及来自城市和农村的护士管理人员和护士临床医生。NVivo（TM）软件被用来查明与人权有关的具体事件，并与《世界人权宣言》进行比较。调查结果显示，艾滋病毒/艾滋病感染者的人权受到各种形式的侵犯，包括剥夺获得适当或根本没有保健/服务的机会，剥夺家庭护理，终止或拒绝就业，剥夺赚取收入、生产粮食或获得贷款的权利。感染艾滋病毒和艾滋病的举报人也受到口头和身体虐待。国家政府和卫生专业人员需要解决这些问题，以确保所有人的人权。
The situation and human rights of people living with HIV and AIDS were explored through focus groups in five African countries ( Lesotho, Malawi, South Africa, Swaziland and Tanzania). A descriptive qualitative research design was used. The 251 informants were people living with HIV and AIDS, and nurse managers and nurse clinicians from urban and rural settings. NVivo (TM) software was used to identify specific incidents related to human rights, which were compared with the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. The findings revealed that the human rights of people living with HIV and AIDS were violated in a variety of ways, including denial of access to adequate or no health care/services, and denial of home care, termination or refusal of employment, and denial of the right to earn an income, produce food or obtain loans. The informants living with HIV and AIDS were also abused verbally and physically. Country governments and health professionals need to address these issues to ensure the human rights of all people.
