This document reports on the findings of an exploratory study on coping strategies and life choices of couples in South Africa, Tanzania and the Ukraine living in long-term serodiscordant relationships – in which one partner is HIV-positive and the other HIV-negative. The primary motivation for doing the study was to inform prevention programmes and global advocacy efforts of GNP+ to promote the health of people living with HIV.
The study was conducted by GNP+, in collaboration with the Centre for Health Policy at the University of the Witwatersrand in Johannesburg, South Africa, and the Human Sciences Research Council (HSRC) in Cape Town, South Africa.
