HIV/AIDS and men : a critical examination of tensions and challenges in establishing a support group for men

The HIV/AIDS pandemic has introduced significant challenges to health care professionals, specifically the appropriate means of supporting those living with the virus. Little research, however, has critically investigated the difficulties involved in the creation of community interventions in this area. In addition, few men's only HIV/AIDS support groups exist and a relatively modest amount of literature surrounds the subject. This thesis, aims to investigate the struggles and tensions involved in the formation of men's only HIV/AIDS support groups.
