To know the psychological profile and personality functioning and coping mechanism of person with HIV. This study revealed that 2 (33.3%) per persons with HIV suffered a lot because of emotional disturbances like aggression, depression, evasion, guilt feeling, inferiority, isolation, self-blame, self-pity, self-consciousness, anxiety, mistrust and difficulty in maintain interpersonal relationship. After a careful analysis of the findings, the researchers came up with conclusion that most persons with HIV have emotional disturbances classified as anxiety, anger, negativism, discouragement, depression, aggression, impulsivity, inadequacy, dependency, evasion and fantasy. Understandably, person with HIV experienced because of their deep seated shattered self. These effects resulted to the development of low self-esteem and low self-concept towards other people, impaired ability to trust, blurred role boundaries and role confusion and pseudo maturity coupled with failure to accomplish development task. And as these developed, they also shaped up coping mechanisms such as displacement of anger, hostility to self and other, evasion and fantasy.
