The aim of this article was to investigate the link between temperamental traits, stress coping styles, social support and the trauma symptoms in HIV-positive women and men. These studies were run on 310 HIV - positive people: 157 men and 153 women. In the research following questionnaires were used: Formal Characteristics of Behavior - Temperament Inventory (FCB-TI), Coping Inventory for Stressful Situations (CISS), Berlin Social Support Scales (BSSS) and the factorial version of PTSD Inventory (PTSDF). The results suggest that HIV - positive men differ from HIV - positive women in stress coping styles. Concentrated on emotions stress coping style, sensor sensitivity and support seeking are highly correlated with the trauma symptoms in HIV - positive women and men.
