Abstract

A current concern among social science researchers is the impact of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) disease on the family, especially on the parenting abilities of mothers with HIV. Beginning research suggests that the children of HIV-positive parents are vulnerable, pointing to the impact of HIV disease on children's social and emotional adjustment. The objective of this article is to propose a model of the HIV disease-related disruption of care on children's psychosocial adjustment. The schematic model can be used to evaluate the mechanisms by which maternal HIV disease may influence the psychosocial adjustment of elementary school-age children.
