Abstract

Although a wide literature details the psychological impact of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) diagnosis, it predates the introduction of effective treatment for HIV (i.e. anti-retroviral therapies, ARTs).This article explores the psychological impact of HIV diagnosis inpost-ART accounts. This is important, given the recent policy developments which focus upon increasing HIV testing and thus diagnoses. This study presents a qualitative exploration of the experiential accounts of HIV-positive gay men living in Scotland.
