Abstract
Virtually nothing is known about the impact of acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) on significant others. Significant others have needs, and often these persons become valuable sources of emotional and physical support for the person with AIDS. Data from interviews with 11 significant others suggest a number of considerations for work with this distressed population.Keywords
