我们的研究旨在研究艾滋病毒感染的妇女与其合作伙伴和他们的小组支持分享血清状态的经验。在波波-迪乌拉索进行的一项治疗试验中，在自愿同意的产前艾滋病毒检测后，对79名血清反应阳性的妇女进行了调查。研究表明，妇女不愿意告知其伴侣，担心受到亲戚和朋友的指责。报告的主要关切是健康后果，大多数妇女希望得到护理。这些妇女并不了解支持艾滋病毒感染者的非政府组织，但提供这一信息引起了很大兴趣，许多妇女考虑很快加入这些组织，并参与其中。这些以社区为基础的组织由合格和积极性高的志愿人员领导，可以促进布基纳法索感染艾滋病毒的妇女更好地融入社会。
Our study aimed at studying HIV-infected women's experience with sharing serostatus with their partner and their group support. A survey was carried out among 79 seropositive women involved in a therapeutic trial in Bobo-Dioulasso, following freely consented prenatal HIV testing. The study revealed that women are reluctant to inform their partners and fear being stigmatized by relatives and friends. The major concern reported was health consequences and most women wished to receive care. The non-governmental organizations supporting people living with HIV were not known by these women, but providing this information raised a high interest and many women considered joining them soon and getting themselves involved. These community-based organizations, lead by qualified and highly motivated volunteers, could facilitate a better social integration of HIV infected women in Burkina Faso.
