Abstract
Psychosocial support is a critical component in the promotion of physical and psychological health for individuals managing the challenges of living with HIV/AIDS within the Indian context. The role of community workers in assisting individuals living with HIV/AIDs in India is of significance given the growing population affected by the epidemic. This paper reports on the findings of 11 in depth qualitative interviews exploring perceptions of community workers engaged in a local non-government organisation (NGO) established to assist children and families living with HIV/AIDs. Discussion emphasises the significance of the role of community workers as a vital ingredient in enhancing the lives of HIV/AIDs affected individuals within the Indian context.
