Abstract
HIV disclosure is a challenging process for parents and healthcare professionals. HIV disclosure guidelines are lacking in Kenya, and parents are especially challenged with disclosure when there are multiple affected family members. While there are two theoretical models of HIV disclosure, their utility in explaining disclosure in African cultures is largely unknown.
