 AB    Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) disease in children has important and
       longlasting effects on families. Although aspects of other childhood
       illnesses can be applied to the study of pediatric HIV disease, the
       total constellation of symptoms and effects makes HIV disease unique.
       Further, the majority of families affected by HIV disease are minority
       and disadvantaged. There is little in the research literature about
       normal family functioning under these conditions. Many older studies of
       childhood illness were based on negative assumptions and did not address
       concepts such as resiliency. Family theories, approaches, and common
       themes are briefly discussed. The few studies addressing families and
       pediatric HIV disease are reviewed and recommendations are made for
       future research directions.
