HIV Endurance: Women’s Journeys from Diagnosis to Aging offers an autoethnographic analysis of the lived experience of disclosing HIV to others, incorporating HIV into one’s identity, challenging HIV stigma, and aging with HIV. Charlene F. D’Amore combines her autoethnographic writing with the voices of seventeen other HIV positive women. The women offer advice to others on disclosing HIV, coping with HIV, challenging HIV stigma through education and advocacy, and aging with HIV using spirituality and a renewed life purpose to find meaning. HIV Endurance offers a model of the HIV disclosure continuum, strategies to challenge HIV stigma, guidance to incorporate HIV into one’s identity, and ways that organizations can prepare for the growing number of people who are aging with HIV.

Reviews for HIV Endurance: Women’s Journeys from Diagnosis to Aging

"HIV Endurance focuses on the process of finding wholeness while navigating the landscapes of life and cultivating personal growth. The book is accessible to readers being introduced to the topic of HIV and women's lived experiences as well as informed readers. The data and research support the personal narratives and testimonies. D'Amore and the 17 women interviewed provide a needed focus on HIV and women's journeys. They offer advice on how to cope and how to find a transformed sense of self and a transformed life's purpose and meaning. -- ""Psychology of Women Quarterly"" HIV Endurance: Women's Journeys from Diagnosis to Aging is a thoughtful body of work that raises awareness about HIV and highlights the ways HIV has specifically impacted several women's lives. This book does a terrific job of exploring how women diagnosed with HIV navigate disclosure, stigma, identity, and aging. Additionally, this book will be of great interest to stakeholders and scholars within public health, health education, health communication, as well as women's, gender, and sexuality studies. --Cody M.
