Summary:

From clinical work and anecdotal accounts, the researchers believed that men vary in how they connect or disconnect their experiences of shame around HIV status from prior shame experiences regarding being gay. In this study, three men were interviewed to explore what it was like for them to come out, test positive, and struggle with relationships, family, and work. This case study provides an account of the qualitative analysis of this project, clarifying the process of exploring the experiences of men living with HIV, and elucidates one approach to creating room for the voice of participants to come through, counterbalanced with the community experiences and theory that I already possessed. Finally, this case study presents a model of how qualitative and quantitative hypotheses might inform one another.
