Abstract

Introduction: HIV is a chronic disease that continues to increase from year to year, with many symptoms or obstacles encountered by HIV sufferers when going about their day. The experience of HIV sufferers is important to know in order to find out what they have experienced for as long as they have had the disease. The objective of this qualitative systematic review is to describe the experiences of people living with HIV.Methods: The method used was searching for journals using the pre-determined keywords of ‘experience’, ‘living with HIV’ and ‘coping’ through the databases of Scopus, ProQuest, PubMed and Sage between 2014 and 2019.Results: The study results showed that there was still discrimination against people with HIV. They also experienced health problems due to the effects of the therapy, unpreparedness in accepting their conditions and the prevention of transmission to their family members.Conclusion: Understanding the role of uncertainty, stigma and resilience is important, since these factors may very well contribute to the patient’s mental health.

Abstract

Introduction: Antiretroviral therapy is an important factor in improving the quality of life of HIV sufferers, but a complex problem in HIV sufferers is a trigger factor for non-compliance in undergoing ARV therapy. The purpose of this study was to explore the experience of people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA) undergoing antiretroviral treatment.Methods: This study was a qualitative phenomenological study, with a sample of 13 HIV patients (10 men and 3 women) who were taking antiretroviral therapy for more than one year; they were recruited using purposive sampling techniques, and data were collected through in-depth semi-structured interviews, field notes and document reviews. Data were analyzed using the Colaizzi method which consists of nine stages.Results: There were six themes that emerged from the experience of PLWHA undergoing antiretroviral therapy and these became the subject of this study, namely knowledge of HIV disease and antiretroviral drugs, self-motivation, social support, and skills in undergoing treatment (self-management), adherence, and quality of life.Conclusion: Of the six themes that emerged, poor knowledge (understanding of the disease and its treatment), social support and self-management were the main factors that were obstacles to and causes of treatment failure; this was due to the unpreparedness for receiving information at the beginning of treatment, lack of motivation, and ignorance in behavior when people had problems with medication.
