Just Talking About It Opens Your Heart’
Meaning-making has emerged as a core construct in addressing trauma, loss or crisis. This paper considers how diasporic Black Africans living with HIV, who come from interdependent collectivist cultures where the norm is one of implicit support, extend their meaning-making strategies when faced with a diagnosis of HIV. In this qualitative study, 13 Black African migrants and refugees living with HIV in New Zealand were interviewed and the transcr…
Older Persons Parenting Children Who Have Lost a Parent Due to HIV
This article reviews scholarship regarding older relatives raising minor children in order to highlight the situation of caregivers raising minor children who have lost a parent because of HIV. HIV-af-fected families are a relatively new type of intergenerational grouping which deserve a closer examination. It is likely that the phenomenon of HIV-affected custodial caregiving grandparents will increase, and it is vital that policy makers, practit…
Poetic Language From a Focus Group With African American HIV-Positive Women Over Age 50
Medical Profiling
In this article, the author uses selected narrative analysis methods to deconstruct stories presented in separate interviews by a married couple who believe that their HIV-infected adult daughter has been victimized by medical profiling. In their accounts, they construct their belief that their daughter's gender, race, education, appearance, and socioeconomic status contributed to her not receiving an accurate diagnosis despite repeated medical e…
Sex, Drugs, and Love Among the Middle Aged
HIV infection attributable to injection is growing, as is the incidence among heterosexual persons. Some of the people affected are over 50, and we can anticipate a growing number of older people with substance use and HIV as primary concerns. Therefore, we need to know more about the intersections of age, addictions, and HIV. This article uses narrative analysis to examine a research interview with an African-American woman and her African-Ameri…
Be Generous of Spirit
This article presents the development of the first AIDS Service Organization in South Carolina, which hastened to respond to a raging, stigmatizing, life threatening pandemic in a conservative political climate and with inadequate financial support. Tichy's framework for health care organizations, which examines political, technological, and cultural challenges, forms the basis of the analysis. Histories of early responses to the HIV epidemic are…
Research as Poetry
Two poems that are extracted and formed from research interviews are presented as examples of a possible way to represent research data. The practice of developing research poetry is problematic due to a lack of evaluation standards. Yet poems can be a powerful narrative tool to further empathy and understanding and can serve education and advocacy goals

HIV-Related Stigma in a Sample of HIV-Affected Older Female African American Caregivers
Older women of color increasingly act as informal caregivers for adults and children with HIV disease. Nineteen older female (mostly African American) informal caregivers of HIV-infected individuals participated in qualitative interviews to explore their experiences with HIV-related stigma. Perceived and directly experienced stigma were examined in the context of disclosure of the presence of HIV disease. Overt HIV-related stigma was rarely exper…

Sociopolitical Antecedents to Stonewall
The 1969 Stonewall riot in New York City is widely celebrated as the beginning of the modern gay rights movement. However, the social changes that followed were possible only because of a decades-long indigenous organization. This article examines three traditional organizational theories on social action movements and applies Aldon Morris's analytical framework for understanding collective social action to the emergence of the modern U.S. gay ci…
