“…[89,90] Finally, the labour force participation literature suggested that economic factors disproportionately affected PHAs from ethnic minority groups, the consequences of which are higher levels of unemployment, poorer access to treatment and a high degree of uncertainty regarding the course of illness. [87,91] Marginalization due to gender and poverty create obstacles to employment for many women living with HIV. [86] Several health related and personal barriers are identified in the handful of studies that address labour force participation for female PHAs.…”

Always cite the published version, so the author(s) will receive recognition through services that track citation counts, e.g. Scopus. If you need to cite the page number of the TSpace version (original manuscript or accepted manuscript) because you cannot access the published version, then cite the TSpace version in addition to the published version using the permanent URI (handle) found on the record page. Abstract: Labour force participation has been identified as a critical social and health issue facing people living with HIV/AIDS (PHAs). We conducted a scoping study (a form of literature synthesis that summarizes research findings, research activity, and identifies literature strengths and gaps) on labour force participation for PHAs, guided by a community advisory committee. We summarized information from 243 peer-reviewed articles and 42 reports from the grey literature, and synthesized the evidence into a preliminary conceptual framework with five components: (1) the meaning of work, (2) key factors (barriers and facilitators) influencing labour force participation, (3) factors affecting vulnerable populations, (4) strategies and supports for returning to or sustaining work, and (5) outcomes (benefits and risks) of labour force participation for individuals and employers. The framework supports the development of labour force initiatives requiring collaborative efforts in multiple domains (health, employment, community) by PHAs, rehabilitation professionals, employers, insurers, and policy makers.

“…While recent experience would suggest that most PWHIV could anticipate ongoing good health, many issues, such as the development of drug-resistant virus, remain undefined. Professional development and its planning carry the weight of this incertitude (Brooks & Klosinski, 1999;Hoffman, 1997;Martin et al, 2003). One of the more significant side effects associated with HIV treatment is lipodystrophy or body fat redistribution.…”

Self-fulfillment despite barriers: volunteer work of people living with HIV

2009

With the decline in the morbidity and mortality associated with HIV infection, the majority of people living with HIV (PWHIV) experience a higher quality of life and longer life expectancy. Since this diagnosis no longer prevents an active lifestyle, many PWHIV are re-integrating into the workplace or are contemplating this possibility. Despite the multiple advantages associated with a return to work, research has identified barriers related to work and HIV infection. These barriers could prevent an important minority of PWHIV who wish to return to work from re-integrating into this environment. In this context, volunteering could be an alternate way to regain an active lifestyle. This research found that volunteer work allowed participants to enrich their social lives, to regain a sense of psychological well-being, and to apply their abilities to the benefit of others. However, participants are restricted by their preference to volunteer for HIV-related organizations in order to avoid social stigma and rejection.

“…Guinan, McCallum, Painer, and Dykes (1991) and Kleiber, Enzmann, and Gusy (1995) relayed that HIV/AIDS workers had a greater sense of personal and professional accomplishment than other workers in health care, such as those who work with the elderly or cancer patients. Hoffman (1997) identified that HIV/AIDS counselors experienced both stressors and rewards in the course of their work.…”
