Objective: To study the management status of HIV-discordant family in Henan province from 2006 to 2010.
Methods: Data on AIDS infected family from "AIDS Infected Family Follow-up Management and Analysis System" was collected and analyzed to understand the management status of HIV-discordant situation.
Results: The sero-conversion rates of HIV-discordant spouse were 1.94/100 person-years in 2006, 1.79/100 person-years in 2007, 0.59/100 person-years in 2008 and 0.41/100 person-years in 2009, showing the yearly decrease. Regarding the number of sero-conversion in the same year, male was significantly higher than female in 2007, but not in the other years. The ratio on the course of sero-conversion which was > 2.5 years was increasing. Frequency of most HIV-discordant couples' sexual activities was 1-4 times/month with consistent use of condoms.
Conclusion: The population of HIV-discordant spouse in Henan province was stable. Regarding management of those HIV-discordant spouse, the acceptance on the rate of test rate was increasing. The course of sero-conversion was also increasing, with most HIV-discordant couples insist on condom use while the sero-conversion rate of HIV-discordant spouse appeared to be low.

This study aims to investigate the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) transmission rate in HIV serodiscordant couples, in addition to the relevant influencing factors. From January 1999 to August 2016, patients with HIV/AIDS (index cases) along with their fixed partners were registered and monitored to determine the rate of HIV transmission between couples, as well as relevant influencing factors. A total of 231 HIV-positive couples were investigated, of these, 45-negative (19.

The systemic framework of resilience and dyadic perspective of couple coping suggests that HIV-discordant couples may show heterogeneous profiles of dyadic adjustment, shaped by contextual risks and resources. This study aimed to identify heterogeneous profiles of dyadic adjustment and thus investigate the expression of resilience among 159 heterosexual HIV-discordant couples in rural China. We hypothesized that the couples could be grouped into distinct profiles: both members showing poor well-being, both members showing good well-being, and discrepant well-being across the two members.

Resilience literature has suggested the context-specific nature of resilience while such framework has yet to be expanded to health psychology research among HIV serodiscordant couples. Conceptualizing a couple affected by chronic diseases using a "we-ness" framework rather than two separate individuals is important for stress coping of the couple. Considering this social-cognitive context of couple coping would be helpful to facilitate resilience of both the patient and the spouse.
