In Thailand, antiretroviral therapy (ART) programs still have difficulties reaching and promoting adherence among a key population - young men who have sex with men (YMSM) living with HIV. As such, we sought to examine potential psychosocial barriers that may contribute to suboptimal levels of ART adherence for this population. Data were drawn from a study of 214 YMSM living with HIV from Bangkok, Thailand. Linear regression models tested the association between depression and ART adherence, and whether social support and HIV-related stigma moderated that relationship. Multivariable models demonstrated social support was significantly associated with higher levels of ART adherence, and that there was a three-way interaction between depression, social support, and HIV-related stigma on ART adherence. These results further our understanding of the role of depression, stigma, and social support in ART adherence among Thai YMSM living with HIV, and that additional supports for YMSM with depression and HIV-related stigma are needed.
在泰国,抗逆转录病毒疗法(ART)项目仍然难以接触和促进关键人群——感染艾滋病毒的男男性行为者(MSM)的依从性。因此,我们试图研究可能导致该人群 ART 依从性不理想的潜在心理社会障碍。数据来自于对来自泰国曼谷的 214 名感染艾滋病毒的男男性行为者的研究。线性回归模型检验了抑郁与 ART 依从性之间的关系,以及社会支持和与 HIV 相关的耻辱感是否调节了这种关系。多变量模型表明,社会支持与更高水平的 ART 依从性显著相关,抑郁、社会支持和与 HIV 相关的耻辱感之间存在三向相互作用,影响 ART 依从性。这些结果进一步了解了抑郁、耻辱感和社会支持在泰国 HIV 感染 MSM 中对 ART 依从性的作用,需要为有抑郁和与 HIV 相关耻辱感的 MSM 提供更多支持。
