Abstract
The article reports on findings from an exploratory study, a survey of 25 HIV/AIDS workers. The survey instrument included all items from the five main dimensions of stresses and rewards in the AIDS Impact Scale, in addition to a series of open-ended questions. The findings suggested the need for careful review of the items to ensure they adequately capture current day stresses and rewards of HIV/AIDS work and the possible need for an additional dimension that captures the stresses and rewards of working with multi-problem vulnerable clients and their families.
