Abstract

This symposium reports on the qualitative aspects of a country-wide study of HIV/AIDS clients in Botswana, Africa. It is part of a programmatic effort to shed light on the HIV/AIDS epidemic, which has been so devastating world-wide, but especially in Africa. Historically, Botswana had the largest problem with HIV/AIDS infected citizens. That has changed, but it is still a major problem in Africa, and throughout the world. The research effort reported on is a country-wide study of HIV/AIDS clients who are receiving counseling and the following themes were examined by members of the research team: Demographic information regarding the clients/country, Intervention Strategies, The Negative Impact of being HIV-Positive in Botswana, Positive attitudes/outcomes of a positive status, and How counseling has been most valuable/What additional help was asked for?
