TL;DRAbstract

Anxiety disorders may occur any time in the course of HIV disease and are most likely to become manifest at pivotal points in disease progression (Elliott, 1998). Most people with HIV respond adequately to the stress of living with the disease and are able to limit the impact of disease-related anxiety on their daily functioning and quality of life. They cope with medical problems, employment changes, family struggles, relationship difficulties, financial hardship, and the uncertainty of the disease process itself. In these circumstances, anxiety is often considered a normal psychological response to stress (American Psychological Association, 1999).
