 AB    Herzlich's (1969) theoretical framework was used to explore Acquired
       Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) from the point of view of affected
       individuals. Content analysis was performed on transcripts of interviews
       with eight French Canadian gay men living with AIDS. Results indicate
       that health and illness are socially constructed concepts and that
       health can coexist with illness. The authors discuss how Herzlich's
       framework can be used by nurses to better understand the individual's
       experience of illness and to guide the individual towards making
       behavioural changes that will generate health throughout the course of
       the illness.
