How forgiveness affects well-being in people with HIV

This study is investigating whether forgiveness—the ability to let go of anger and resentment toward others—can help improve the quality of life and overall well-being of people living with HIV. People with HIV often experience significant stress not only from managing their condition but also from the stigma surrounding it. Research suggests that forgiveness may be a powerful tool to help people cope with stress and feel better, both mentally and physically.

Very few studies have looked at how forgiveness affects the physical and mental health of people living with HIV. This research aims to fill that gap and show that this treatment could be a valuable way to help people manage the emotional burden of living with HIV.
