如今，埃塞俄比亚越来越多的艾滋病毒/艾滋病感染者搬迁到圣水地点，寻求精神关怀。本文根据作者的深入访谈记录了 17 名艾滋病毒/艾滋病感染者的经历。他们认为使用圣水是艾滋病毒/艾滋病的替代和补充治疗方法。此外，还有一些其他的精神实践也可以被视为精神治疗。将抗逆转录病毒治疗与圣水治疗一起使用的问题在研究参与者中仍然存在争议。文章介绍了社会工作者对前往圣水点寻求救济的艾滋病毒/艾滋病感染者进行干预的领域。
A growing number of people living with HIV/AIDS in Ethiopia today are relocating to holy water sites, in search of spiritual care. This article documents the experiences of 17 people living with HIV/ AIDS, based on their in-depth interviews by the author. The use of holy water is considered by them to be an alternative and complementary treatment for HIV/AIDS. In addition, there are some other spiritual practices that can be considered spiritual treatment. The issue of using antiretroviral treatment together with holy water treatment remains controversial among the research participants. The article shows areas of intervention for social workers regarding the people living with HIV/AIDS who are heading to holy water sites for relief.
