The prevalence of hazardous alcohol use among people living with HIV/AIDS (PLHIV) is common and related to numerous health problems among individuals in this group. Stigma is associated with hazardous drinking among stigmatized groups, but this relationship has yet to be examined among PLHIV. Moreover, there is a lack of research in identifying the mechanisms underlying this association. Emotion dysregulation is one potential construct that may explain the association between stigma and hazardous alcohol use among PLHIV. The present study examined the indirect effect of HIV stigma and hazardous alcohol use via emotion dysregulation. The sample included 98 PLHIV (60.2% male, Mage = 48.40, SD = 7.75). Results indicated significant and medium-sized indirect effects of HIV stigma and its subfacets (enacted stigma and negative self-image) in terms of hazardous alcohol use via emotion dysregulation. Alternative models did not yield significant indirect effects. The results document an indirect association between HIV stigma and hazardous alcohol use via emotion dysregulation. These findings may provide novel, initial empirical insight into the nature of the stigma-hazardous drinking relation among PLHIV.

“…The link between AS and smoking behaviors may have important implications for other chronic illnesses in addition to respiratory illnesses. For instance, about 70% of HIV/AIDS outpatients report daily smoking (Niaura et al., ), and smoking status among individuals with HIV/AIDS moderated the predictive influence of AS on other maladaptive health behaviors including hazardous drinking and sexual compulsivity (Brandt, Bakhshaie, et al., ), a finding that may indicate that individuals with HIV who smoke are particularly at risk of adverse AS‐health outcome associations. However, more work is needed in this area not only to establish the role of AS in the association between smoking and HIV/AIDS, but also to further establish how this link may, in turn, increase risk of the exacerbation of the illness via other maladaptive health behaviors such as hazardous drinking.…”

Anxiety sensitivity (AS; fear of anxiety‐related symptoms) is an established transdiagnostic risk factor for psychiatric disorders and is related to a variety of chronic medical conditions. However, AS has not been established as a risk factor for chronic medical conditions. In this study, we review studies on AS and chronic medical conditions (and symptoms/behaviors related to chronic medical conditions) and propose four pathways through which AS may increase risk of chronic medical conditions: (a) increasing fear of medical condition‐specific symptoms, (b) perpetuating avoidance of healthy activities, (c) promoting engagement in unhealthy behaviors, and (d) increasing risk of detrimental pathophysiological and pathomechanical alterations. We also discuss the potential utility of using AS reduction interventions as a means of reducing risk of chronic medical conditions.

Pain is highly prevalent among people living with HIV (PLHIV). Although the association between stigma and pain among stigmatized individuals has been well-established in the non- HIV chronic pain literature, little is known about the association between stigma and pain among PLHIV and the mechanisms that underlie this association. The present study examined the indirect effect of HIV stigma and pain via anxiety sensitivity (fear of anxiety symptoms). The sample included 97 PLHIV (60.2% male, Mage = 48.40, SD = 7.75). Results indicated significant and medium-sized indirect effects of HIV stigma on pain severity, pain interference, and psychological inflexibility in pain via anxiety sensitivity. Alternative models did not yield significant indirect effects. The results suggest anxiety sensitivity may explain the association between stigma and pain among PLHIV. These findings provide novel empirical insight into the nature of stigma-pain relation among PLHIV and could be used to guide pain-based intervention development for this population.
