The loss of positive social identity such as a work identity due to the reveal of HIV/AIDS identity and that meant that individuals were afflicted with negative social identity within the culture that hold individual social responsibilities for their health . HIV/AIDS identity constituted a nexus that affects the others salience identity also and function symbolically one can’t be isolated from others .
