23名妇女通过摄影记录和与同龄人的批判性对话分享了艾滋病毒感染者的现实故事，讲述了她们面临的挑战，她们如何克服这些挑战以及她们对未来的希望。小组会议成绩单的定性分析揭示了七个主要主题：药物依从性，药物滥用，犯罪史，与儿童的关系，结束不健康的关系，重构和帮助他人。参与者利用他们的艾滋病毒诊断来寻找生活的意义，并专注于他们可以采取的行动，以改善自己，促进每个人的成长和发展。了解妇女认为哪些是她们感染艾滋病毒经历的重要方面，可能为制定针对这一人群的更有效干预措施和政策提供宝贵信息。对社会工作实践的影响包括为感染艾滋病毒的妇女提供心理健康和药物使用治疗，提供针对性别的同伴支持服务，以及消除对艾滋病毒的刑事定罪。
23 women shared stories of the realities of living with HIV through photographic documentation and critical dialogue with peers about the challenges they face, how they have overcome these challenges and what hopes they have for their future. Qualitative analysis of group session transcripts revealed seven major themes; medication adherence, substance abuse, criminal history, relationships with children, ending unhealthy relationships, reframing and helping others. Participants made use of their HIV diagnosis to find meaning in life and focus on the actions that they can take to better themselves, contributing to each one's growth and development. Understanding what women view as important aspects of their experience living with HIV may provide valuable information for developing more efficacious interventions and policies for this population. Implications for social work practice include offering women with HIV mental health and substance use treatment, providing gender-specific peer support services, and eliminating the criminalization of HIV.
