“…Ten studies (11 articles) were conducted in Asia and the Pacific region, six in Africa (4,6,23,(33)(34)(35), one study (two articles) in Caribbean (11,12), and one study in both Zimbabwe and USA (36). Of the 20 articles, eleven employed face to face qualitative interviews (4,11,12,14,23,24,34,(37)(38)(39)(40). Nine articles used quantitative methods (3,5,6,13,25,33,35,36,41), of which seven were cross-sectional (3,5,6,25,33,35,36) and two were prospective cohort studies (13,41).…”

“…Most of the participants were married women. Eight studies involved married women (3-6, 13, 14, 39, 41), the other eight involved a combination of married, widowed and single women (24,25,(33)(34)(35)(36)(37)(38), while four studies do not report marital status of the participants (11,12,23,40). Participants' age ranged from 15 to 58 years old, while three studies do not report the age of the participants (11,12,25).…”

“…Participants' age ranged from 15 to 58 years old, while three studies do not report the age of the participants (11,12,25). The qualitative studies mainly used content analysis (4,23,37,38,40) and thematic analysis (11,12,24,34,39) approach for data analysis, except one study which employed a combination of thematic analysis, analysis of episode and identification of paradigm cases (14). The majority of the quantitative studies used one or a combination of bivariate and multivariate linear or logistic regression models for data analysis (3,5,6,33,35,36,41).…”

“…Stigma and discrimination against WLHIV also occur in healthcare settings, reflected in discriminative treatments or behaviours of healthcare professionals towards WLHIV. Criticism, blaming, shouting at or throwing health record on patients' face, rejection and unnecessary referrals, and neglection or leaving patients untreated once patients' HIV status is known to them are some forms of discriminative behaviour of healthcare professionals against WLHIV (6,23,25,39,40). Being coerced to undergo HIV testing, and abortion and sterilisation after HIV diagnosis, and loss of private health insurance due to being diagnosed with HIV are other instances of healthcare-related discrimination against WLHIV (25).…”

“…Being coerced to undergo HIV testing, and abortion and sterilisation after HIV diagnosis, and loss of private health insurance due to being diagnosed with HIV are other instances of healthcare-related discrimination against WLHIV (25). As the consequence, WLHIV often hide their HIV status and go untreated (39,40), which may lead to advanced stage of HIV infection. Stigma and discrimination against WLHIV also occur in the workplace setting manifested in loss of prospects for promotion and change in job descriptions.…”

Background HIV infections among women cause a range of detrimental impacts on the affected women and their families. This review seeks to understand what impacts are associated with living with HIV in women and their families; and how the identified impacts relate to each other. Methods A systematic review of literature was conducted to identify the impacts of HIV on women and their families in developing countries. We conducted a systematic search of literatures published up to September 2018 in the following databases: Medline, PsycINFO, CINAL, Emcare, Scopus and ProQuest. Articles were included if they were published in English language, with full text available, in developing countries, involving married and non-married women age 15 years and above with HIV and focusing on the impacts of HIV on women and their families. Critical appraisal tools developed by Joana Briggs Institute (JBI) were used to assess methodological quality of the studies and thematic narrative synthesis was used to analyse the findings of the included articles. Results A total of 20 articles were included in the review. The review indicated that HIV infections among women living with HIV (WLHIV) caused numerous negative impacts on WLHIV and their families. They included (i) psychological impacts, (ii) poor physical health and intimate partner violence, (iii) social impacts such as stigma and discrimination, disruption of children’s social life and education, family separation and child-parent conflict, and (iv) economic impacts including loss of job and increased family health expenditure leading to poor family economic condition, the sale of family assets, food insecurity and hunger and poverty. Conclusions The findings indicate the need for interventions that address among impacts, psychological, stigma and discrimination and economic consequences of HIV facing WLHIV and their families in developing countries.

Women who are infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) represent a major public health priority due to the disease impact on health, family, and society. Despite the growing number of empirical studies in this area, particularly from developing countries, there are few review articles that explore the psychosocial challenges faced by women living with HIV/AIDS. This clinical review describes prominent factors that influence treatment and quality of life among this target group. Implications and recommendations highlight therapeutic interventions that provide immediate psychosocial and psychophysical support. The review also proposes a conceptual model that may serve as a psychosocial management tool for mental health practitioners in developing countries who counsel women living with HIV/AIDS.
