 AB    A group of 53 men with HIV disease participated in this correlational
       study of the relationships among psychological distress, quality of
       life, uncertainty, coping patterns, stress, and CD4+ T-lymphocyte
       levels. Meaningful correlations (r > .40, p < .01) indicated that higher
       levels of negative-impact stressful experiences were associated with
       more frequent use of emotion-focused coping; both higher levels of
       negative stress and more frequent use of emotion-focused coping were
       associated with lower quality of life, higher psychological distress,
       and more uncertainty; lower quality of life was associated with higher
       psychological distress and more uncertainty; and lower CD4+ counts were
       associated with higher levels of positive-impact stressful experiences.
