“…In the present study, similar to our previous study on Chinese PLHIV (Chen et al, 2020), we evaluated the physical symptoms of PLHIV as a whole and found that physical symptoms were a critical factor that can contribute to both adaptive and maladaptive coping strategies. The finding indicates that Asian American PLHIV tend to respond with all kinds of coping strategies when physical symptoms are presented (e.g., fatigue, shortness of breath, weakness, rash, tingling of arms).…”

Physical symptoms and sleep disturbances activate coping strategies among HIV-infected Asian Americans: a pathway analysis

How to activate adaptive coping strategies has an important and practical meaning for the quality of life of people living with HIV (PLHIV); however, few studies have focused on the effects of sleep disturbances and HIV-related physical symptoms on coping strategies. The specific relationships among coping strategies, sleep disturbances and HIV-related physical symptoms were unknown. We performed a path analysis to examine the proposed model of relationships among sleep disturbances, physical symptoms, and coping strategies. A convenience sample of 69 HIVpositive Asian Americans in San Francisco, Los Angeles, and New York City were recruited and data were collected on demographics, sleep disturbances, HIV-related physical symptoms, and coping strategies. Sleep disturbances directly affect maladaptive coping (β = 0.34), and physical symptoms directly affect adaptive coping (β = 0.30) and maladaptive coping (β = 0.24). Interventions designed to decrease sleep disturbances and physical symptoms should be developed to enhance adaptive coping and reduce maladaptive coping among Asian Americans with HIV.

“…Second, participants were recruited in large Chinese cities. As compared to representative samples of PLWH in China, higher proportion of our participants were male, younger, on ART, and with short duration since HIV diagnosis ( 31 – 33 ). Generalization should be made cautiously to PLWH in China.…”

People living with HIV (PLWH), if infected with Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19), had an increased risk of mortality compared to people without HIV infection. They are considered as a priority group to receive COVID-19 vaccination. This cross-sectional online survey investigated the prevalence of and factors associated with COVID-19 vaccination uptake among 2740 PLWH aged 18–65 years in eight Chinese metropolitan cities between January and February 2021. As validated by requesting participants to send an image of receipt hiding personal identification, 6.2% of PLWH had taken up COVID-19 vaccination. Participants living in cities where individuals could make an appointment to receive COVID-19 vaccination reported significantly higher uptake than those living in cities without such allowance (11.0 vs. 2.9%, p < 0.001). Being a member of priority groups to receive vaccination, concerning about the side effects of COVID-19 vaccination and its interaction with HIV treatment, and exposing to information on the Internet/social media supporting PLWH to receive COVID-19 vaccination were significantly associated with COVID-19 vaccination uptake in both groups of participants. Receiving advice from the staff of community-based organizations supporting COVID-19 vaccination was associated with higher uptake among participants living in cities where individuals could make an appointment to receive such vaccination, while a shortage in COVID-19 vaccine supply was associated with a lower uptake among participants living in other cities. Our findings presented a snapshot of COVID-19 vaccination uptake among PLWH in the early phase of vaccine rollout in China. It provided a knowledge basis to formulate interventions promoting COVID-19 vaccination for PLWH.

“…The total numbers of symptoms were obtained by summing all binary variables coded either 0 = not present today or 1 = present today (including mild, moderate and severe). The SSC‐HIVrev, which has been previously used in the Chinese population, had acceptable validity and reliability (Cronbach's alpha = 0.76–0.97) (Chen et al, 2020).…”

Objective: This study aimed to examine the previous uptake of cervical cancer screening and intention to be screened and its associated factors among women living with HIV in China. Methods:We conducted a cross-sectional survey of 213 women living with HIV to collect information about cervical cancer screening behaviour, demographics, knowledge about cervical cancer and screening, and perception of HIV symptom severity.Results: Seventy-eight women living with HIV (36.6%) had undergone cervical cancer screening, and 83 (61.5%) of the nonscreened women had the intention to be screened in the future. Using multivariate analysis, women who had more knowledge about cervical cancer screening (OR = 2.373, 95% CI = 1.593-3.534, p = 0.000) and had at least one nongynecological symptom (OR = 0.446, 95% CI = 0.204-0.978, p = 0.044) were more likely to have received screening previously. Conclusion:This study emphasised that knowledge, as a salient factor, was crucial to promoting cervical cancer screening behaviour among women living with HIV. Effective measures should be taken to promote the knowledge about cervical cancer prevention.
