本文的目的是比较感知和实际的社会支持对男同性恋、异性恋或双性恋男性以及感染艾滋病毒/艾滋病的女性的心理健康的影响方式。参与者包括125名女性和232名男性，他们被诊断为艾滋病毒阳性或艾滋病，参与了三项关于艾滋病毒、信息披露和心理健康的大型调查。结果表明，每个亚组体验到感知社会支持显著预测更好的心理健康，而实际社会支持的影响是最小的。
The purpose of this paper is to compare the ways in which perceived and actual social support affect the mental health of gay men, straight or bisexual men, and women living with HIV/AIDS. Participants included 125 women and 232 men with an HIV-positive or AIDS diagnosis involved in three larger investigations of HIV, disclosure and mental health. Results suggest each sub-group experienced perceived social support as significantly predictive of better mental health while the effect of actual social support was minimal.
