This article discusses the challenges faced by people in the adoption process who are living with HIV, looking especially at resilience factors. Resilience is framed in the context of HIV-related infertility that motivates people living with HIV to apply for adoption. The article draws on psychological definitions of resilience and presents four factors that promote and sustain it: individual strengths, good health management, social network and wider recognition in society. This is illustrated by a case study. The study emphasises that ‘the prospective adoptive child’ should always be at the centre of any assessments and encourages social workers to consider sensitive and inclusive practice when assessing prospective adopters living with HIV.

认识到寻求收养的艾滋病毒感染者的适应力因素

本文讨论了艾滋病毒感染者在收养过程中面临的挑战，尤其是适应力因素。适应力是在与 HIV 相关的不孕症的背景下构建的，这促使 HIV 感染者申请收养。文章借鉴了心理弹性的定义，并提出了促进和维持弹性的四个因素：个人优势、良好的健康管理、社交网络和更广泛的社会认可。一个案例研究说明了这一点。该研究强调，“准收养儿童”应始终处于任何评估的中心，并鼓励社会工作者在评估感染艾滋病毒的准收养者时考虑敏感和包容性的做法。
