Abstract
This qualitative study aimed to investigate the impact of the experience of counselling and the emotional support that it provides of people affected with HIV in Terengganu. A total of 10 people affected with HIV participated in this study, selected by purposive sampling. Data were collected using semi-structured interviews, diary entries and non-participant observations on two occasions for every participant. The data were analysed by thematic analysis in order to identify themes related to the participants’ experiences. The findings showed that the counselling sessions created opportunities for the participants to share their stories, which contributed to their feelings of being supported and understood. They also felt motivated to face their daily struggles in a more positive way. In addition, they experienced feelings of relief due to the opportunity to share their experiences with the counsellor. The feelings of being supported, understood, appreciated, motivated and relieved experienced by people affected with HIV provided them with emotional support. Implication of the findings, counselling sessions contributed to the feelings of being supported and understood, thus motivated people affected with HIV in facing their daily struggles in a more positive way.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
