Abstract

This qualitative study explored the experiences of six African American women living with HIV/AIDS. The participants' ages ranged from 41 to 54, and were recruited from a transitional homeless shelter. The women attended twelve hour-long support group sessions and also participated in three audio-taped private interviews. Field logs based on the support group observations and interview transcripts provided the sources for thematic analysis of data.
