Parents report that trying to decide whether or not to disclose their HIV diagnosis to their children is as emotionally charged as learning of the diagnosis itself. As part of a larger study, interviews were conducted with 17 parent-child dyads recruited from patients being treated at the National Cancer Institute to understand the factors that affect the process of disclosure of a parent's HIV diagnosis and its consequences. Parents and HIV-infected children were also interviewed and were administered several standardized measures for collecting information on parental depression, family environment, and social support satisfaction. The factors associated with a parent's decision to disclose his or her diagnosis to the children, and implications for clinical practice and future research, are discussed.
