Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) can have lasting, detrimental effects throughout the lifespan and may influence engagement in health care. We conducted a case-cohort study in Tanzania to estimate the association between ACEs and disengagement from HIV care 12 months after initiating antiretroviral therapy (ART) among 217 adults (26 cases and 191 sub-cohort participants). Experiencing one, two, three, and four additional ACEs was significantly associated with 28% (RR= 1.24; 95% CI: 1.05, 1.44; p-value < 0.01), 64% (RR=1.64; 95% CI: 1.22, 2.20), 110% (RR=2.10; 95% CI: 1.35, 3.26), and 168% (RR=2.68; 95% CI: 1.49, 4.38) increases in the risk of disengagement from HIV care, respectively. These findings call for integrated trauma-informed mental health services within HIV care to end HIV/AIDS as a public health threat.
童年不良经历(ACEs)会在整个生命周期产生持久的有害影响,并可能影响医疗保健的参与度。我们在坦桑尼亚进行了一项病例队列研究,以评估217名成年人(26例病例和191名队列参与者)在开始抗逆转录病毒治疗(ART)12个月后,ACEs与脱离艾滋病毒护理之间的关联。经历另外1次、2次、3次和4次ACEs分别与脱离艾滋病毒护理风险增加28%(RR = 1.24;95% CI:1.05,1.44;p值<0.01)、64%(RR = 1.64;95% CI:1.22,2.20)、110%(RR = 2.10;95% CI:1.35,3.26)和168%(RR = 2.68;95% CI:1.49,4.38)显著相关。这些发现呼吁在艾滋病毒护理中提供综合的创伤知情心理健康服务,以消除艾滋病毒/艾滋病作为公共卫生威胁。
