| Annotation | Women are living with HIV into middle and older age and are likely to face multiple comorbidities and stressors as they age. This study focused on understanding how women who experience multiple forms of oppression and ongoing adversity are still able to adapt and stand strong. Using a theoretical framework of resilience and a feminist research ideology, interviews of eight middle-aged and older African American women living with HIV were analysed. Despite experiences of HIV-related discrimination, trauma and violence, these women demonstrated a remarkable ability to adapt and maintain support. Implications for research and practice are discussed. (RH). |
