The UA Campus Repository is experiencing systematic automated, high-volume traffic (bots). Temporary mitigation measures to address bot traffic have been put in place; however, this has resulted in restrictions on searching WITHIN collections or using sidebar filters WITHIN collections. You can still Browse by Title/Author/Year WITHIN collections. Also, you can still search at the top level of the repository (use the search box at the top of every page) and apply filters from that search level. Export of search results has also been restricted at this time. Please contact us at any time for assistance - email repository@u.library.arizona.edu.

| dc.description.abstract | A disparity of resources for HIV-infected persons exists in rural areas. Unlike any other chronic illness, HIV has no immediate medical intervention until significant disease progression occurs. Lack of curative treatment for a disease process known to induce irrevocable damage to the immune system causes distress, anxiety, and uncertainty. Presently, no theory exists to aid health professionals understand and provide appropriate interventions for these individuals. Considering the negative effects of stress and illness on immune function and the inadequacy of health care services, the purpose of this study was to identify experiences of HIV-infected persons in rural areas. S scURVIVAL D scISTANCING, described experiences by which HIV-infected persons in rural areas balanced limits and accepted the reality of living with chronic illness. Migration of HIV-infected persons, in addition to those indigenous to rural areas, added to challenges in determining health care needs of those infected and needs of those affected by HIV. | |
