“…Given that behaviors are most influenced by immediate normative conditions, utilization of other sources of communication—school, media, adult mentors or role models—provides mothers a way to share values and expectations, both important to reducing daughter’s engagement in risk behaviors. Changing this normed environment may be particularly important for adolescents of HIV-infected parents who are at increased risk for their own sexually acquired HIV infection (Chabon et al, 2001; Mellins et al, 2005). When parents change the normative environment, they create the opportunity to target behavior change.…”

“…Among adolescent daughters of HIV-positive mothers, half had initiated sexual activity before the age of 14, 70% reported unprotected intercourse, 52% reported alcohol use and 41% reported illicit drug use (Lee et al, 2002). Chabon, Futterman, and Hoffman (2001) determined that among youth with known sexually or injection-acquired HIV, 19% reported at least one parent with HIV infection.…”

Mother-daughter communication plays an influential role in adolescent development. The impact of maternal HIV infection on family communication is not clear. This study explores how living with HIV impacts sexual risk communication between mothers and daughters and whether maternal HIV status influences adolescent choices about engagement in HIV risk behaviors. Data were collected from 12 African American women and 10 of their adolescent daughters through focus groups. Both mothers and daughters shared information about issues that promoted and inhibited communication and engagement in risk behaviors. Findings show that HIV status served as a mechanism for behavioral change related to communication and risk engagement behaviors. Therefore, HIV-infected mothers should be supported in communicating values and expectations to their daughters.

“…Daughters of HIV-positive mothers exhibit a high rate of early childbearing compared to national averages, and earlier sexual debut (May et al, 2006). Chabon, Futterman, and Hoffman (2001) found that almost 20% of youth treated for sexually acquired HIV had a parent living with the disease.…”

Mothers play an important role in promoting the sexual health of their adolescent children. Fifty-seven HIV-positive mothers with adolescent children participated in an in-depth, qualitative interview regarding whether they have talked to their children about safer sex and STD prevention, including at what age they began such discussions, and what messages they gave to their children. The majority of mothers (95%) had talked with their child about safer sex; some began such discussions when the children were as young as 6 years old, but most began when the children were around 12 years old. Mothers’ messages fell into the following areas: (1) protecting oneself from STDs; (2) giving factual information regarding STDs, including HIV; (3) avoiding pregnancy; (4) empowering and respecting oneself; and (5) communicating with sexual partners. The mothers’ own HIV status impacted the discussions with their children. Content of mothers’ messages, child reactions, and child outcomes are discussed.

“…While some report early parentification in children of HIV-positive parents as predicting externalized problem behaviors (i.e., substance use among others; Burton, 2007; Sang, Cederbaum, & Hurlburt, in press; Stein, Riedel, & Rotheram-Borus, 1999), others report no significant correlation between parentification and maladaptive behaviors (Murphy, Greenwell, Resell, Brecht, & Schuster, 2008; Stein, Rotheram-Borus, & Lester, 2007; Tompkins, 2007). While inconclusive, these role stresses may place children of HIV-positive parents at greater risk for engagement in risk behaviors like alcohol use (Chabon, Futterman, & Hoffman, 2001). …”

Family relationships influence children’s beliefs and behaviors. This work examined qualities associated with communication about alcohol among 176 mothers and the influence of this communication on daughters’ alcohol use. Path analyses by maternal HIV status indicated significant differences. Relationship satisfaction was associated with self-efficacy for both HIV-positive (β = 0.545, p < .001) and HIV-negative (β = 0.557, p < .001) mothers. Maternal self-efficacy was associated with communication for both HIV-positive (β = 0.364, p < .01) and HIV-negative (β = 0.310, p < .05) mothers; maternal attitudes toward alcohol use were associated with communication among HIV-negative mothers (β = 0.20, p < .05). Relationship satisfaction was indirectly related to daughter’s alcohol use in HIV-positive dyads (β = 0.153, p < .05). In families with interfamilial and environmental stressors, investing in the mother–daughter relationship, in part by discussing issues related to alcohol use, is protective in nature.
