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 emotionfocused 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.
