Description
HIV/AIDS has a profound impact on family well-being and structures. This publication considers issues and challenges of HIV/AIDS from a family perspective, using information and data from sub-Saharan Africa. Issues discussed include the following: definitions and methodological aspects; knowledge and disclosure of HIV status, including stigma and risk perceptions; caregiving and family living arrangements, including the implications for older family members and children who are forced to assume adult responsibilities; care of orphaned children; changing structures and functions of families affected by HIV/AIDS; traditional and other family practices affecting vulnerability to HIV; and, policy implications of the HIV/AIDS epidemic.
