INTRODUCTION: Young adults with perinatally acquired HIV (YA-PHIV) are facing transitions to adult life. This study assessed health risk behaviours (including substance use), mental health, quality of life (QOL) and HIV treatment outcomes of Thai YA-PHIV. METHODS: A cross-sectional study was conducted in Thai YA-PHIV aged 18-25 years who were enrolled in a prospective cohort study at five tertiary paediatric HIV care centres in Thailand. Study data were obtained through face-to-face interviews from November 2020 to July 2021. Assessments were performed for alcohol use (Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test; AUDIT), smoking (Fagerstrom Test for Nicotine Dependence), drug/substance use (Drug Abuse Screening Test; DAST-10), depression (Patient Health Questionnaire for Adolescents; PHQ-A), anxiety (Generalized Anxiety Disorder; GAD-7) and QOL (World Health Organization QOL Brief-Thai). HIV treatment outcomes were extracted from the National AIDS Program database. RESULTS: Of 355 YA-PHIV, 163 (46%) were males: their median age was 21.7 (interquartile range, IQR 20.2-23.5) years. There were 203 YA-PHIV (58%) who reported ever having sex; 141 (40%) were sexually active in the past 6 months, of whom 86 (61%) reported 100% condom use. Overall, 49 (14%) met the criteria for harmful alcohol use; 28 (7.9%) were alcohol dependent. Sixty (17%) were current smokers and 37 (11%) used drugs/substances. The frequency of moderate up to severe symptoms for depression was 18% and for anxiety was 9.7%. Their overall QOL was good in 180 (51%), moderate in 168 (47%) and poor in five (1.4%). There were 49 YA-PHIV (14%) with CD4 <200 cells/mm and 85 (24%) with virologic non-suppression (HIV-RNA >200 copies/ml). On multivariate analyses, the highest education at the primary to high school or vocational school levels (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] 2.02, 95% CI 1.40-3.95, p 0.04), harmful alcohol use (aOR 2.48, 95% CI 1.24-4.99, p 0.01), alcohol dependence (aOR 3.54, 95% CI 1.51-8.31, p <0.01) and lifetime suicidal attempt (aOR 2.66, 95% CI 1.11-6.35, p 0.03) were associated with non-suppression. CONCLUSIONS: Regular screening for alcohol use and mental health, including suicidality, would be useful to identify YA-PHIV who need more intensive psychosocial support or referral services to ensure they can achieve and maintain a high QOL into adult life.
引言:患有围生期获得性 HIV(YA-PHIV)的年轻人正面临着向成年生活的过渡。本研究评估了泰国 YA-PHIV 的健康风险行为(包括药物使用)、心理健康、生活质量(QOL)和 HIV 治疗结果。 方法:在泰国的五家三级儿科 HIV 护理中心,对年龄在 18-25 岁之间的前瞻性队列研究中招募的泰国 YA-PHIV 进行了横断面研究。研究数据通过面对面访谈于 2020 年 11 月至 2021 年 7 月收集。评估包括酒精使用(酒精使用障碍识别测试;AUDIT)、吸烟(尼古丁依赖 Fagerstrom 测试)、药物/物质使用(药物滥用筛查测试;DAST-10)、抑郁(青少年患者健康问卷;PHQ-A)、焦虑(广泛性焦虑障碍;GAD-7)和 QOL(世界卫生组织 QOL 简短-泰语)。从国家艾滋病计划数据库中提取 HIV 治疗结果。 结果:在 355 名 YA-PHIV 中,有 163 名(46%)为男性:他们的中位年龄为 21.7 岁(四分位距,IQR 20.2-23.5)。有 203 名 YA-PHIV(58%)报告曾经发生过性行为;141 名(40%)在过去 6 个月内有过性行为,其中 86 名(61%)报告 100%使用避孕套。总体而言,49 名(14%)符合有害酒精使用标准;28 名(7.9%)酒精依赖。60 名(17%)为当前吸烟者,37 名(11%)使用药物/物质。中度至重度抑郁症状的发生率为 18%,焦虑症状的发生率为 9.7%。他们的整体 QOL 良好的有 180 名(51%),中等的有 168 名(47%),差的有 5 名(1.4%)。有 49 名 YA-PHIV(14%)的 CD4<200 个细胞/mm,85 名(24%)的病毒载量未抑制(HIV-RNA>200 拷贝/ml)。在多变量分析中,最高教育水平为小学至职业学校(调整后的优势比[aOR] 2.02,95%CI 1.40-3.95,p<0.01)、有害酒精使用(aOR 2.48,95%CI 1.24-4.99,p<0.01)、酒精依赖(aOR 3.54,95%CI 1.51-8.31,p<0.01)和终生自杀企图(aOR 2.66,95%CI 1.11-6.35,p<0.01)与未抑制有关。 结论:定期筛查酒精使用和心理健康,包括自杀意念,对于识别需要更强化的心理社会支持或转介服务的 YA-PHIV 很有用,以确保他们能够实现并保持成年后的高生活质量。
