Abstract
A ''non-progressor'' with HIV, diagnosed in 1984, comments from a pers onal perspective on how people with HIV are affected by social and pro fessional attitudes. The failure of some professionals to develop an u nderstanding of HIV beyond their own particular field of expertise con tributes to the disempowerment experienced by those infected and can r esult in broader social and and psychosocial aspects of HIV, such as d iscrimination, being inadequately addressed.
