The HIV-infected and the health care : A litteratur review about the reception of the HIV-infected persons (English)
Abstract [en]

Background: HIV is one of the biggest global epidemics. Historically the HIV-infected persons have faced a discriminative and stigmatizing attitude inside the health care-sector. That form of negative reception has been seen as one of the biggest obstacles to decrease the spread of HIV and to create an equal healthcare sector.

Aim: The aim is to highlight how HIV-infected persons experience the reception from health care professionals in countries with low prevalence of HIV.

Method: A literature review with nine scientific articles, seven articles were qualitative, one was quantitative and one with mixed method.

Results: Two main topics arised: The negative reception and The positive reception. The HIV-infected are still experiencing situations where they are treated with a stigmatized and discriminative attitude from the health care-professionals. The result, however, indicates that the reception has improved. The HIV-infected experienced that the positive interactions widely exceeded the negative.

Conclusion: HIV-stigmatization is still a major issue within the health care sector. The HIV- infected, however, experience the stigmatizing reception in more isolated cases today and the positive reception widely exceeded the negative stigmatizing reception. The HIV-infected experienced health care professionals with high knowledge to give a better reception.

Abstract [sv]

Bakgrund: HIV är en av de största globala epidemierna. HIV-drabbade personer har historiskt bemötts av en diskriminerande och stigmatiserande attityd inom hälso- och sjukvårdssektorn. Den formen av negativt bemötande har ansetts vara ett av de största hinder som finns för att minska spridningen av HIV och för att skapa en likvärdig hälso- och sjukvårdssektor.

Syfte: Syftet är att belysa hur HIV-drabbade personer upplever bemötandet från hälso- och sjukvårdspersonalen i länder med låg prevalens av HIV.

Metod: Litteraturöversikt med nio vetenskapliga artiklar varav sju var kvalitativa, en var kvantitativ och en med mixad metod.

Resultat: Två huvudteman framkom: Det negativa bemötandet och Det positiva bemötandet. De HIV-drabbade upplever fortfarande situationer där de blir bemötta med en stigmatiserande och diskriminerande attityd från hälso-och sjukvårdspersonal. Resultatet tyder dock på bemötandet har förbättrats. De HIV-drabbade upplevde att det positiva bemötandet vida överskred de negativa.

Slutsats: HIV-stigmatiseringen är ett fortsatt stort problem inom hälso- och sjukvårdssektorn. De HIV-drabbade upplever dock det stigmatiserande bemötandet i mer enstaka situationer idag och det positiva bemötandet överskred vida det negativa stigmatiserande bemötandet. HIV-drabbade upplevde att hälso- och sjukvårdspersonal med hög kunskap generellt gav ett bättre bemötande.
