Children and families HIV-infected. Psychological aspects of the

Can not say exactly how many children suffered from the fact that their parents, siblings or other family members were infected with HIV. Among them: • Children born to HIV-positive mothers. · HIV-positive children or children with one parent is infected. • Children who are HIV-positive fathers (often while they suffer with hemophilia). • Children whose parents died of AIDS. In some African countries, children have suffered from the loss of all family members who have died from AIDS. Consider the problems of children, family members who are infected with HIV or AIDS, or who are HIV-positive. Here are some of them: how to tell children that their relative infected with HIV or have AIDS, testing children for HIV: caring for children affected by HIV / AIDS, how to arrange the adoption or guardianship of the HIV-infected children. How to tell children that their relative infected with HIV or have AIDS Careful preparation of the decision that the child or young person needs to be told about HIV often defined by their age and level of understanding of some issues (eg, some functions of the body or the nature of the disease). This is best parents can do. If it is impossible to talk about HIV should be the other person that has a close relationship with that child or young person. Not bad, if parents of a child or young person will be able to create a family atmosphere of open communication that the child can ask any questions or express their opinion on what he heard. A child can see that in the house that something is wrong and will ask questions: "Why us became more and more people go?" Or "Why are you always sick and always go to the hospital?" Sometimes children can not verbalize his feelings due to the fact that the house that something has changed. Stress can manifest itself in them as a change in behavior, nightmares, intrusive, or carelessness. In this situation, parents may decide that a child should tell that one family member infected with HIV. In many families, this process may take some time. First, parents are told about HIV in general, that children have a general idea about the disease. Information on HIV, which is distributed to the media or obtained in school, can encourage children to comments or questions about HIV. Parents can answer these questions as they arise. This will help pave the way to tell a child that one family member infected with HIV. Followed by a talk about this child.
