这项定性研究的目的是了解高效抗逆转录病毒疗法对艾滋病毒血清反应阳性的男性和女性的生活的影响。数据表明，这些治疗的需求是巨大的，但由于实施HAART而带来的新的健康和对未来的希望往往掩盖了治疗对个人身体，情感和社会福祉的压力。从业人员应该敏锐地意识到那些HAART所面临的斗争，并提供多方面的支持，以确保这些治疗的最大效果，根据他们的客户的生活现实。
The purpose of this qualitative study was to understand the impact of HAART on the lives of HIV seropositive men and women. The data demonstrate that the demands of these treatments are substantial, but that renewed health and hope for the future due to the implementation of HAART often overshadows the stress of the treatments on the physical, emotional and social well-being of the individuals. Practitioners should be keenly aware of the struggles faced by those on HAART, and provide multidimensional support to assure maximum effectiveness of these treatments in light of the realities of their clients' lives.
