Self-Management of HIV

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceeding › Chapter

Abstract

Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is a chronic condition, currently requiring life-long medication and having potential impacts on physical health through pain, fatigue, adverse medication affects, and opportunistic infections and on mental health through depression and anxiety and the stigmatized nature of HIV. Self-management offers an important avenue to address these concerns, with current research suggesting interventions to support medication-taking, good nutrition, and peer support to boost mental health and optimize a person’s understanding of HIV. Further, knowledge is required to facilitate self-management. The challenges and interventions including legal issues around transmission of HIV are considered, highlighting the multidimensional nature of the condition.
