HIV-POSITIVE SURVIVAL FACTORS1. Long-term survivors understand and accept the reality of the AIDS diagnosis, but also refuse to believe that the syndrome is an automatic, imminent death sentence.
2. Long-term survivors believe that they can cope actively with the disease, and refuse to succumb to a “Helpless-Hopeless” state.
3. Long-term survivors make appropriate, individualised adjustments in personal habits and behaviour in order to accommodate living with the disease.

4. Long-term survivors see the physician as a collaborator and take an active part in decisions related to their own treatment. There is a sense of personal responsibility for health, and a belief that they personally can influence the outcome of the disease.
5.Long-term survivors show a “commitment to life”; there are unfulfilled goals, dreams, and unfinished business that they commit themselves to.

9. Long-term survivors are assertive, can say “NO” and withdraw from involvements when self-care becomes necessary.
10. Long-term survivors develop an ability to listen to their own body, and to sensitively care for it, and to communicate openly about their concerns without feeling selfish.
