Conflicts Between the Research Role and Practitioner Role

Participants in my study described their lived experiences and I was ‘the other’ who had limited awareness and knowledge of how I would feel about, and what it is like to live with, being infertile and looking to adopt a child as a result of HIV. The following is a data extract from my research log:Mercy is a forty-five-year-old, HIV-positive female. Mercy was desperate to have a child with her husband who was HIV-negative. Mercy’s fallopian tubes were blocked and this prevented her from having biological children. She was in denial about her infertility but was comfortable with her HIV diagnosis. Her unsuccessful application for NHS fertility treatment funding led Mercy to feel desperate for answers to her infertility. She became keen to adopt but had also been unsuccessful. (Research log)
