Abstract
The purpose of this qualitative heuristic study was to explore the emerging adults' lived experience of PAHIV. The aim of this study was to determine if the emerging adults were meeting the benchmarks of their developmental stage as their unaffected peers and to elucidate their voices to understand their essence of the experience of PAHIV. This study answered the questions: What is the emerging adults' lived experience of perinatally acquired HIV (PAHIV)? What benchmarks of the developmental stage are the emerging adults with PAHIV meeting? Philosophical Underpinnings: This study utilized the qualitative research approach with interpretivism and constructivism as the philosophic underpinnings.
