Abstract

AIDS is not known just as a disease, and its vector is not just recognized only as a patient. Since the modes of disease transmission include particular behaviors which have been known as negative norms according to the public morals, there are some negative labeling and views toward this disease. So, the patients are labeled as deviant in the society, and they may face discrimination and prejudice from the public. This research aims to study the impacts of the disease and its labels, through the lived experience of the Women who have AIDS or are HIV-positive. Data has been collected, applying the qualitative method and the basic theory and the semi-structured interview with positive HIV Women, who visited “ the association to protect the socially damaged people (revival of values)” . By analyzing the research findings, four factors were found as the main causes for “ the patient’ s sensitivity to Social Labeling” , including: “ the present negative social attitude toward the disease” , “ the immoral ways of disease transmission” , “ lack of public knowledge about the transmission ways” , and “ the absence of support from family and acquaintances” . Findings show that the labeling related to HIV/AIDS leads to prejudicious behaviors toward these patients, and consequently some problems and concerns for these Women. The concerns are physical problems, psychological problems, isolation and depression, financial concerns, worrying about missing the job, stealth at work, rejection and missing friends and family’ s support, limited cure availability, worrying about marriage, and limited social interactions. These problems beside the fear from revealing the disease and so the fear from being labeled, lead to decrease the level of life quality among these patients.
