Parents hope that this story ...

The parents are hoping that such a story "in two steps will help reduce the potential negative reaction from him, as it is expected that their child should be a clearer picture about HIV and a more sympathetic attitude towards the patient than is usually described in the press. Parents are also hoping that "giving out" information on parts, they help the child understand that one family member infected with HIV. It is important to think about the time when you should tell a child with HIV infection. Parents often say "it's time to tell" when they see that the child has a good emotional state, or that they will not be distracted by other things - for example during school holidays or after the exams. Chose the right moment will allow parents to explain in detail your child what they want to tell him. The child may have questions, he may need time to express your feelings calmly and without interference. Why is it sometimes better not to talk about the disease many parents do not tell children about their status for fear of stigma and discrimination. Parents may fear that children will turn away from them because of the earlier received negative information about the "AIDS carriers". If the baby from them and not turn away, it can be assumed that parents have done if something "bad" or "not wrong". Because of the widespread notion that "HIV, AIDS, a death, parents may be afraid to tell the truth, because the child may think that his parents will soon die or are dying. Parents often can not gather strength to tell the possibility of his death, and indeed the theme of death in the family may be banned. Family Secrets Parents often worry that children will not be able to maintain the confidentiality of their status. They are very worried that children could suffer if outsiders learn that parents are infected with HIV, children may be discriminated against at school or become isolated from friends. Parents fear that the child will reveal the secret of his brothers, sisters or other relatives who still do not know anything. While some parents believe their child can keep a secret, they believe that such a load is unacceptable for a child. It is hard to tell what impact might have on the child's possession of such secret. Children are usually aware of family secrets, such as drug use by family members, child abuse, domestic violence, etc. In such situations they have observed a variety of adverse reactions, such as alienation from friends, unwillingness to invite other children home, the feeling that they do not like everything, and even desire to hide. Because of the stigma associated with HIV, the story of an outsider to this family tragedy could have more devastating consequences than the disclosure of other family secrets. Some parents do not tell their children, while not seriously ill, or sometimes do not say anything about it. Parents feel that it could forever change the lives of children and want them to live a "normal life" without having to constantly worry about their parents or those who have them replaced.
