披露血清状况是艾滋病病毒感染者面临的一个难题，特别是当 HN 感染者是父母时，问题是是否向孩子披露。本研究调查了患有血友病并感染 HN 的男性家庭中父亲 HIV 状况的披露以及披露与儿童功能之间的关联。结果表明，在年龄较大的儿童、白人家庭以及父亲病情较重的家庭中，披露艾滋病毒状况的情况更为常见。当在家庭过程的内容中考虑披露时，亲子关系（而不是披露）与儿童功能显着相关。更积极的亲子关系与儿童抑郁和外化问题程度较低以及成绩更好有关。
Disclosure of serostatus is a difficult issue faced by individuals who have the AIDS virus, particularly when the HN-infected individual is a parent and the question is whether to disclose to a child. The present study examined disclosure of paternal HIV status and the associations between disclosure and child functioning in the families of men who have hemophilia and are HN infected. Results indicated that disclosure of HIV status was more common with older children, among Caucasian families, and in families in which fathers are more ill. The parent-child relationship, but not disclosure, was significantly associated with child functioning when disclosure was considered within the content of the family processes. A more positive parent-child relationship was related to lower levels of child depression and externalizing problems and to better grades.
