“…Furthermore, these conditions are not mutually exclusive. It is estimated that 31% (95% CI 28–34%) PWH have moderate-to-severe levels of depression [ 58 ] and 25% (CI 95%, 21–30%) have an anxiety disorder [ 59 ]; however, the estimated prevalence of psychoses that are treatable with LAIs has only been published in studies with small, non-representative samples of PWH. The literature showing elevated frequencies of substance use in PWH is extensive [ 60 ] and, in recent years, has included outbreaks among people who inject opiates [ 61 ].…”

Long-acting injectable antiretroviral medications are new to HIV treatment. People with HIV may benefit from a treatment option that better aligns with their preferences, but could also face new challenges and barriers. Authors from the fields of HIV, substance use treatment, and mental health collaborated on this commentary on the issues surrounding equitable implementation and uptake of LAI ART by drawing lessons from all three fields. We employ a socio-ecological framework beginning at the policy level and moving through the community, organizational, interpersonal, and patient levels. We look at extant literature on the topic as well as draw from the direct experience of our clinician-authors.

“…Thus, Chinese HIV-positive MSM (HIV+ MSM) are even more vulnerable to mental health problems compared with other populations. The anxiety and depression rates among Chinese HIV+ MSM were 38.7 and 50.5% (5), respectively, while they were 25% (6) and 31% (7) among people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA) and 2.1 and 5.0% among the Chinese general population, respectively (8). Moreover, mental health problems among HIV+ MSM adversely impact HIV treatment outcomes and lower their quality of life.…”

IntroductionHIV and mental health problems are a global syndemic. One key issue is that the significant mental health problems among people vulnerable to acquiring or living with HIV have not been fully addressed. Access to social support has been one of the biggest challenges for HIV-positive men who have sex with men (HIV+ MSM). Lower social support has been linked to more severe depression symptoms. However, the mechanisms underlying the association between social support and depression in HIV+ MSM are unclear. Two possible mediators include hope and psychological flexibility. This study aimed to examine the relationship between social support and depression in HIV+ MSM and to explore the single mediating effects of hope and psychological flexibility and the chain mediating effect of these two variables on this relationship.MethodsA convenience sample was used to recruit participants from the designated HIV/AIDS hospital in Changsha city, Hunan Province of China. A total of 290 HIV+ MSM completed questionnaires.ResultsOur findings showed that hope mediated the relationship between social support and depression in HIV+ MSM. Furthermore, the chain mediation model confirmed a direct negative association between social support and depression, but this relationship was largely mediated by the chain effects of hope and psychological flexibility.ConclusionsIntegrating hope and psychological flexibility into interventions may provide better mental health support for HIV+ MSM and improve their wellbeing and quality of life.

ContextPersons living with HIV (PLWH) commonly experience mental health symptoms. However, little is known about the core mental health symptoms and their relationships.ObjectiveThis study aimed to evaluate the prevalence of various mental health symptoms and to explore their relationships in symptom networks among PLWH.MethodsFrom April to July 2022, we recruited 518 participants through convenience sampling in Beijing, China, for this cross-sectional study. Forty mental health symptoms, including six dimensions (somatization symptoms, negative affect, cognitive function, interpersonal communication, cognitive processes, and social adaptation), were assessed through paper-based or online questionnaires. Network analysis was performed in Python 3.6.0 to explore the core mental health symptoms and describe the relationships among symptoms and clusters.ResultsOf the 40 mental health symptoms, the most common symptoms were fatigue (71.2%), trouble remembering things (65.6%), and uncertainty about the future (64.0%). In the single symptom network, sadness was the most central symptom across the three centrality indices (rS = 0.59, rC = 0.61, rB = 0.06), followed by feeling discouraged about the future (rS = 0.51, rC = 0.57, rB = 0.04) and feelings of worthlessness (rS = 0.54, rC = 0.53, rB = 0.05). In the symptom cluster network, negative affect was the most central symptom cluster across the three centrality indices (rS = 1, rC = 1, rB = 0.43).ConclusionOur study provides a new perspective on the role of each mental health symptom among PLWH. To alleviate the mental health symptoms of PLWH to the greatest extent possible and comprehensively improve their mental health, we suggest that psychological professionals pay more attention to pessimistic mood and cognitive processes in PLWH. Interventions that apply positive psychology skills and cognitive behavioral therapy may be necessary components for the mental health care of PLWH.
