Research has shown that HIV-related stigma contributes to people living with HIV having a higher risk of mental health disorders. Our study examines the association between enacted HIV-related stigma and symptoms of anxiety and depression among PLWH. We used baseline data from 932 PLWH collected from the Florida Cohort study between 2014 and 2018. The sample was majority 45 + years of age (63.5%), male (66.0%), and Black (58.1%). The majority had previously experienced enacted HIV-related stigma (53.1%). Additionally, 56.6% and 65.2% showed mild to moderate/severe levels of anxiety and depression, respectively. Those who experienced any levels of enacted HIV-related stigma (vs none) had significantly greater odds of mild and moderate/severe levels of anxiety (vs no/minimal) (AOR[CI] 1.54[1.13, 2.10], p = 0.006; AOR[CI] 3.36[2.14, 5.26], p < 0.001, respectively) and depression (AOR[CI] 1.61[1.19, 2.18], p = 0.002; AOR[CI] 3.66[2.32, 5.77], p < 0.001, respectively). Findings suggest a need to evaluate interventions for PLWH to reduce the deleterious effects of enacted HIV-related stigma on mental health.
研究表明,与艾滋病相关的耻辱感会导致艾滋病病毒感染者心理健康障碍的风险更高。我们的研究考察了实施性艾滋病相关耻辱感与艾滋病毒感染者的焦虑和抑郁症状之间的关联。我们使用了 2014 年至 2018 年期间从佛罗里达队列研究中收集的 932 名艾滋病毒感染者的基线数据。该样本主要为 45 岁以上(63.5%)、男性(66.0%)和黑人(58.1%)。大多数人以前经历过实施性艾滋病相关耻辱感(53.1%)。此外,56.6%和 65.2%分别显示出轻度至中度/重度焦虑和抑郁。与没有经历过任何程度的实施性艾滋病相关耻辱感的人相比(无/轻度),经历过任何程度的实施性艾滋病相关耻辱感的人有明显更高的轻度和中度/重度焦虑(与无/轻度相比)的可能性(优势比[CI] 1.54[1.13, 2.10],p=0.006;优势比[CI] 3.36[2.14, 5.26],p<0.001)和抑郁(优势比[CI] 1.61[1.19, 2.18],p=0.002;优势比[CI] 3.66[2.32, 5.77],p<0.001)。研究结果表明,有必要评估针对艾滋病毒感染者的干预措施,以减少实施性艾滋病相关耻辱感对心理健康的不良影响。
