    Document: The sample for this paper was drawn from the participant list of the bigger study in Tan Tock Seng Hospital in Singapore, recruited by social workers and research assistants. The inclusion criteria for this study are heterosexual males or females who are Singaporean citizens or permanent residents above 21 years old, married (or once married) with children, and have been diagnosed with HIV for at least 2 years. They have all been started on ART and do not have any neuropsychiatric conditions. Phone calls were made to HIV patients who fitted the sampling criteria to explain the study and seek their consent for the interviews. Participants were given financial reimbursement of approximately US$62 for their time and transport costs. The sample size was kept small intentionally as this is a pilot study to gain a preliminary understanding of how heterosexual people with HIV reconstruct their identity with the narrative of HIV as a chronic disease. Having equal numbers from each gender also allows for understanding of gender differences in reconstructing their identity. Hence, the sampling strategy is not one of representativeness but, instead, the small number was chosen to achieve vivid illustrative and illuminating insight. The findings from this study may help in conceptualizing a future study to further understand the process of identity reconstruction.
