Abstract
Abstract Little is known about the barriers to HIV status disclosure among HIV-positive women residing in Nigerian rural settings. A qualitative interview study was carried out with 17 women with HIV at a primary care clinic in a Nigerian rural setting. Collected data were thematically analyzed. The results revealed barriers such as the fear of stigmatization which was associated with factors such as socio-cultural factors and residing in rural settings. Further, poor support from HIV-care providers and socioeconomic dynamics were identified as barriers. The implication of findings for theory and practice were discussed.
