We evaluated the feasibility and efficacy of four existing interventions to improve adherence to them in migrants living with HIV (MLWH): directly administered antiretroviral therapy (DAART), group medical appointments (GMA), early detection and treatment of psychological distress, and peer support by trained MLWH. At baseline and after the interventions, socio-demographic characteristics, psychosocial variables, and data on HIV treatment adherence were collected. The two questionnaires were completed by 234/301 (78%) MLWH included at baseline. Detectable HIV RNA decreased (from 10.3 to 6.8%) as did internalized HIV-related stigma (from 15 to 14 points), and self-reported adherence increased (between 5.5 and 8.3%). DAART and GMA were not feasible interventions. Screening of psychological distress was feasible; however, follow-up diagnostic screening and linkage to psychiatric services were not. Peer support for and by MLWH was feasible. Within this small intervention group, results on HIV RNA < 400 copies/mL (decrease of 23.6%) and outpatient clinic attendance (up to 20.4% kept more appointments) were promising.
我们评估了四种现有干预措施在感染艾滋病毒的移民(MLWH)中提高其依从性的可行性和有效性:直接监督下的抗逆转录病毒治疗(DAART)、集体医疗预约(GMA)、心理困扰的早期检测与治疗以及由经过培训的MLWH提供同伴支持。在基线期和干预措施实施后,收集了社会人口学特征、心理社会变量以及艾滋病毒治疗依从性数据。234/301名(78%)纳入基线期的MLWH完成了两份调查问卷。可检测到的艾滋病毒RNA有所下降(从10.3%降至6.8%),内化的与艾滋病毒相关的耻辱感也有所下降(从15分降至14分),自我报告的依从性有所提高(提高了5.5%至8.3%)。DAART和GMA不是可行的干预措施。心理困扰筛查是可行的;然而,后续的诊断筛查以及与精神科服务的联系则不可行。MLWH之间的同伴支持是可行的。在这个小干预组中,艾滋病毒RNA<400拷贝/毫升的结果(下降了23.6%)以及门诊就诊情况(高达20.4%的人预约更多)很有前景。
