The Meaning of Work in the Lives of People Living with HIV Disease and AIDS

Connie J. McReynolds

Kent State University

Many individuals with HIV disease and AIDS are living longer, experiencing improved health, and planning for their futures due to the increased efficacy of new drug therapies and drug combinations for the treatment of HIV disease and AIDS. Learning more about how individuals with HIV disease and AIDS are managing their illness in regards to work was the focus of this study. A core phenomenon emerging from this study centered on the importance that work held in the lives of people living with HIV disease and AIDS. Within this core phenomenon, four categories were identified: (a) providing access to affordable insurance and health care, (b) providing a distraction from the disease, (c) allowing one to be a contributing member of society, and (d) serving as a measure of health. Implications for rehabilitation practitioners and directions for future research are discussed.
