This study used a phenomenological approach. Participants were 14 PWHAs with an average age of 35 years who had known their positive HIV status for an average of 24.9 months. Two coping strategies used to deal with negative health care experiences included,“Don’t make a big fuss about it,” and “Building defenses and finding alternatives.” Cultural aspects of PWHAs’ coping strategies are discussed as they distinguish Chinese from Western culture.[SDGs]SDG3acquired immune deficiency syndrome; adult; article; Chinese; clinical article; coping behavior; cultural anthropology; human; Human immunodeficiency virus infection; interpersonal communication; male; patient care; phenomenology; physician attitude; priority journal; Taiwan; Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome; Adaptation, Psychological; Adolescent; Adult; Attitude; Child; Culture; Female; HIV Infections; Humans; Interviews; Male; Middle Aged; Taiwanjournal article10.1080/09540120120076913
