Trauma Issues Associated with HIV Infection: A Group Intervention

This 11 session group intervention is designed for women trauma survivors who have also been diagnosed with HIV infection. The intervention is written as a leaders manual, with a rationale, goals, questions to prompt discussion and experiential exercises for each topic.

This intervention helps HIV positive individuals view the infection itself as an additional trauma. Issues of disclosure and stigma, hopelessness and fear, dealing with the system and creating collaborative relationships, sexuality and future relationships, and acceptance and spirituality are all discussed. Members have a chance to explore how their trauma histories might be affecting their management of the HIV infection and to design healthy approaches for dealing with illness.
