HIV Endurance: Women’s Journeys from Diagnosis to Aging offers an autoethnographic analysis of the lived experience of disclosing HIV to others, incorporating HIV into one’s identity, challenging HIV stigma, and aging with HIV. Charlene F. D’Amore combines her autoethnographic writing with the voices of seventeen other HIV positive women. The women offer advice to others on disclosing HIV, coping with HIV, challenging HIV stigma through education and advocacy, and aging with HIV using spirituality and a renewed life purpose to find meaning. HIV Endurance offers a model of the HIV disclosure continuum, strategies to challenge HIV stigma, guidance to incorporate HIV into one’s identity, and ways that organizations can prepare for the growing number of people who are aging with HIV.
Charlene F. D'Amore is teacher in public education and an HIV advocate.
