- Description
- There is a dearth in the documentation of the benefits of HIV-counseiling in India. This article deals with how HIV-counselling facilitates the psychological wellbeing of Persons Living with HIV (PLHIV) in Kerala, India. About 269 PLHIV participated in the study. Meaning in Life Questionnaire, Illness Perception Questionnaire and Psychological Wellbeing Scale were used. It was noticed that counselling did not impact the scores on subscales such as Timeline, Emotional Representation and Consequences, while the scores on Self-Acceptance and Autonomy did not differ even with counselling. Findings call for a reconsideration of the way HIV-counselling is provided.
