 AB    The article presents three examples of how mothers with human
       immunodeficiency virus (HIV) disease cope with stressors in their lives.
       These examples were generated through the clinical perspective and
       interpretation of one clinician-researcher. Knowledge of specific women
       over time indicates that HIV disease is often experienced within the
       context of poverty. To survive with hope, the individual woman faced
       with an HIV diagnosis must find ways to overcome the stigma of the
       diagnosis and adapt using individual coping responses. Social support
       and social networks are viewed as resources for women who struggle to
       survive with the diagnosis of HIV seropositivity.
