Spouse Counseling

Spouse Counseling

Spouse counseling in the context of HIV/AIDS is a process where married or committed partners receive guidance and emotional support together. It helps them deal with the emotional shock of diagnosis, promotes honest communication, and encourages mutual support. Counseling also discusses issues like safe sex practices, family planning, prevention of transmission, and treatment adherence. It helps reduce fear, blame, and stigma, strengthening the relationship and enabling the couple to face HIV-related challenges as a team.
