A Comparative Study among Persons Living with and without Human Immunodeficiency Virus/Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome on Perceived Social Support, Coping, and Resilience

Abstract Background: HIV weakens the immune system, increasing vulnerability to diseases. In India, prevalence is 0.32% in men and 0.22% in women, with declining cases due to targeted interventions and wider ART access. This study emphasized the need for tailored interventions to enhance resilience and adaptive coping, particularly for individuals living with HIV/AIDS.
