The barrier theory offers several reasons why family members are
not perceived as supportive of individuals with HIV. This study
investigates the social support network of men living with HIV and
results challenge the barrier theory. This study is unique in that
no study has looked at characteristics and relatedness of specific
individuals making up the social support network. Further, no
studies have attempted to offer a detailed description of the
individuals making up the social support networks of gay men living
with HIV. This study examines the social support networks of
individuals infected with HIV at five different time periods: the
onset of the study, the 6-month follow up, the 12-month follow up,
the 18-month follow up and the 24 month follow-up. Specifically,
how do the relationships within the support network change over
time? Family members were identified as supportive 36% of the time
and those family members remained consistent. Friends were
identified as supportive; however, upon close examination the exact
individuals were not consistent over time.
