Hypervigilance and its socio-emotional consequences among adolescents with HIV
Adolescents with HIV (AWH) experience hypervigilance due to HIV stigma. A mixed-methods study was conducted in three steps to develop a hypervigilance survey instrument from the lived experience of AWH. First, in-depth interviews were conducted with 39 AWH, second, a hypervigilance survey instrument was developed and administered to 106 AWH in the third step. A grounded theory approach was utilized to identify typologies of hypervigilance to deve…
HIV Concealment and Victimization Among Adolescents with HIV (AWH)
Adolescents with HIV (AWH) often conceal HIV due to stigma and fear of rejection. Stress-buffering and social embeddedness theory suggest that HIV concealment can increase victimization due to a decline in emotional social support (ESS). Understanding the moderating role of ESS between HIV concealment and victimization may help inform interventions to reduce victimization among AWH. A cross-sectional survey including egocentric social network dat…

Finally, I will discuss the emotions potentially aroused by the langu…
