Abstract
Woman living with HIV are confronted with all types of barriers that lead
to stress in life. Social pressures and stresses faced have encouraged women living
with HIV to undertake relevant coping strategies in order to achieve their full social
functioning. This qualitative study focusing on case study, involved five (5)
informants of women living with HIV. The study also included eight (8) volunteers
from the Warga Peduli AIDS (WPA) amd three (3) family members, which were all
selected through purposive sampling. Data collection was conducted through indepth
interviews, focus group discussions, participation observation, and
documentation study, which was done in two (2) years in Kelurahan Kebon Pisang,
Kecamatan Sumur Bandung, Kota Bandung, Indonesia. Findings have indicated that
women living with HIV do face complex pychological and social problems, which
include contraction of HIV from husbands who were injecting drug users; economic
problem due to high medical expenses; disclosure problems due to negative stigma
that limits the needed social support system.
