"How do people living with HIV/AIDS experience multiple losses?" is the question which is explored from the perspective of psychology using a qualitative research design. In eight lengthy, in-depth interviews, seven co-researchers were asked to describe their experience of living with HIV/AIDS and their subsequent experience of multiple losses. the interviews were analyzed using phenomenological methodology. As a result of the analysis, nine themes were identified: reaction to physical symptoms and diagnosis; multiple losses; death and other causes; feelings about living with HIV/AIDS/multiple losses, coping mechanisms; discrimination and ignorance; isolation; relating/connection with others; spirituality; and acceptance of living with HIV/AIDS. These themes were found to impact the co-researchers in the relationship to self, the self in time, the self in relationship to the world of others, and the body in space. the co-researchers in the study described the experience of suffering from symptoms of HIV/AIDS and side effects of treatments; feelings of shock, numbness, despair, depression, and hopelessness; and a sense of urgency, increasing the pace of living and shortened life expectancy. Losses were comprised of deaths, including AIDS-related deaths; the loss of jobs, careers, physical abilities, finances, friendships, and significant relationships; discrimination, stigma, and a shortened lifespan. Experiences of living with HIV/AIDS and multiple losses ranged from considering suicide, isolating, crying, neglecting self-care, denial, rage, impatience, and coldness to seeing the benefits of HIV/AIDS, such as increased maturity, taking responsibility for oneself and/or one's children and/or partner/spouse; growth in personal expression of feelings and emotions--faith, hope, and spirituality; and acceptance of HIV/AIDS, losses, and life. Quantitative and qualitative research studies on HIV/AIDS and losses and bereavement associated with HIV/AIDS were presented and assessed. the implications of the study for psychology and interventions were discussed, and suggestions for further research were outlined.

AIDS (Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome)has emerged as an enduring and complex medical and social reality in Canada. With each AIDS-related death, an extensive network of family, friends, colleagues, neighbours, and health care providers is left behind to grapple with the losses. This research study examines one facet of the human experience of HIV/AIDS: the bereavement experiences of HIV-infected and HIV-affected loss survivors within an AIDS-impacted community in Canada. From in-depth interviews and 3 dialogue groups with 27 AIDS-bereaved long-term survivors, this study presents a rich description of the complex dimensions of AIDS-related multiple losses. Regardless of HIV sero-status, bereaved survivors face the stigma associated with the illness itself and the continued marginalization of communities most impacted by HIV. However, the experiences of these survivors also point to creative strategies of resiliency and coping through constructing meaning, recreating an assumptive world and re-engaging the heart. The Presence of Absence offers organizational and leadership strategies for building effective and relevant community-based responses for this bereaved population.

Impossible Mourning argues that while the HIV/AIDS epidemic has figured largely in public discourse in South Africa over the last ten years, particularly in debates about governance and constitutional rights post-apartheid, the experiences of people living with HIV for the most part remain invisible and the multiple losses due to AIDS have gone publicly unmourned. This profound fact is at the center of this book which explores the significance of the disavowal of AIDS-death in relation to violence, death, and mourning under apartheid. Impossible Mourning shows how in spite of the magnitude of the epidemic and as a result of the stigma and discrimination that has largely characterized both national and personal responses to the epidemic, spaces for the expression of collective mourning have been few. This book engages with multiple forms of visual representation that work variously to compound, undo, and complicate the politics of loss. Drawing on work Thomas did in art and narrative support groups while working with people living with HIV/AIDS in Khayelitsha, a township outside of the city of Cape Town this book also includes analyses of the work of South African visual artists and photographers Jane Alexander, Gille de Vlieg, Jillian Edelstein, Pieter Hugo, Ezrom Legae, Gideon Mendel, Zanele Muholi, Sam Nhlengethwa, Paul Stopforth, and Diane Victor.

While much progress has been made on achieving the Millenium Development Goals over the last decade, the number and complexity of global health challenges has persisted. Growing forces for globalization have increased the interconnectedness of the world and our interdependency on other countries, economies, and cultures. Monumental growth in international travel and trade have brought improved access to goods and services for many, but also carry ongoing and ever-present threats of zoonotic spillover and infectious disease outbreaks that threaten all. Global Health and the Future Role of the United States identifies global health priorities in light of current and emerging world threats. This report assesses the current global health landscape and how challenges, actions, and players have evolved over the last decade across a wide range of issues, and provides recommendations on how to increase responsiveness, coordination, and efficiency â€" both within the U.S. government and across the global health field.
