Abstract:
Estimates of AFRO-CARIBBEAN people living with HIV/AIDS are questionable because this population is unwilling to be tested or disclose their status, fearing stigmatization. The purpose of this study was to explore attitudes about HIV/ AIDS-associated stigma for churchgoing Afro- Caribbean people in the United States. Two focus groups of mothers and daughters were convened. The research question was How do young people your age feel about having a friend who is HIV-positive? and How do mothers feel about their daughters having a friend who is HIV-positive? Information from mothers and daughters was evaluated separately through content analysis. Results are discussed.
