| Summary: | The HIV positive cases in Malaysia and the world are increasing from day to day among
individuals of all races and ages. However, the issue of social support for HIV positive
patients still needs to be discussed in detail as this issue will have an impact on the lives of
HIV positive patients in Malaysia. The focus of this study is to examine social support among
HIV positive people in Malaysia. This study used a full qualitative method to collect and
analyze data. Five male informants with HIV positive were involved in this study. All
informants were interviewed separately using semi structured interview methods. Among the
topics discussed in this study were family acceptance, the type of social support they received
and the social support resources. The findings showed that, four out of five informants were
infected with the HIV viruses from sharing needle and one informant was infected from
unprotected sex. The results showed that they received adequate social support in terms of
emotions, information, instrumental and networking from various sources. Nevertheless,
social support for HIV positive people in Malaysia still needs to be discussed and promoted
to ensure their psychological well-being. |
