“…18 Disclosure has been labeled a ''major hurdle'' for youth living with HIV, 34 and doing so with sex partners is consistently cited as a major concern of theirs, particularly for BHIV. 30,42,46 Studies in primarily BHIV youth populations have reported prevalence of nondisclosure to recent sex partners of 40% 20 and 48%. 26 In another study, 12 of 22 youth had not disclosed to their main sex partner.…”

“…Eight studies (Table 1) came from research conducted under the auspices of the ATN 8,9,[19][20][21][22][23][24] and four came from ATN's precursor, the REACH study, [25][26][27][28] an NIH-funded research network that recruited BHIV and HIV-uninfected at-risk youth ages 12-18 years, from 16 clinical care sites across the US between 1996 and 1999. Other studies came from intervention research samples (e.g., Adolescent Impact Study 29,30 ) and other research cohorts [e.g., Women's Interagency HIV Study (WIHS), 31 LE-GACY 32 ]. Most reports involved the analysis of cross-sectional survey data from a single time point.…”

HIV-infected young women in the United States have important reproductive health needs that are made more complex by their HIV status. We searched Pubmed and relevant bibliographies to identify 32 articles published from 2001 to July 2012 that described the prevalence, correlates, and characteristics of the sexual activity, relationships, pregnancy intentions, HIV status disclosure, and contraceptive and condom use among US HIV-infected adolescents and young women. Our synthesis of those articles found that, like youth not infected with HIV, substantial proportions of HIV-infected youth were sexually active, and most sought romantic or sexual relationships, though their serostatus may have affected the pace of physical and emotional intimacy. Disclosure was difficult, and large proportions of HIV-infected youth had not disclosed their serostatus to recent partners. A few studies suggest that most HIV-infected young women hoped to have children in the future, but many wanted to avoid pregnancy until later. Only one study described contraceptive use among this population in detail and found that condoms were a primary method of contraception. The results point to substantial gaps in published research, particularly in the areas of pregnancy intentions and contraceptive use. Much more needs to be done in research and health services to better understand and meet the complex health needs of HIV-infected young women.

“…24 Among 166 YLWH (mean age 16.8 years), 21% scored above the threshold for internalizing symptoms (e.g., depression, anxiety) and 30% for externalizing (e.g., conduct problems) as measured by the Achenbach Youth Self Report. 25 A study with 66 YLWH found that 50% ''scored above the cutoff for significant mental health symptoms on the Brief Symptom Inventory (BSI).'' 26 Other studies have administered the BSI to YLWH but have used the scale as part of a correlation matrix or variable model.…”

This study determined the prevalence and patterns of psychological symptoms in adolescents and young adults living with HIV (YLWH) in medical care and relationships between psychological symptoms, route and duration of infection, and antiretroviral treatment (ART). A clinic-based sample of 2032 YLWH (mean age 20.3 years), recruited from 20 adolescent medicine HIV clinics, completed a cross-sectional survey of health behaviors and psychological symptoms using the Brief Symptom Inventory (BSI). Overall, 17.5% of youth reported psychological symptoms greater than the normative threshold on the Global Severity Index. A wide variety of symptoms were reported. The prevalence of clinical symptoms was significantly greater in youth with behaviorally acquired HIV compared to those with perinatally acquired infection (20.6% vs. 10.8%, OR = 2.06 in Multiple Logistic Regression (MLR)), and in those not taking ART that had been prescribed (29. 2% vs. 18.8%, OR = 1.68 in MLR). Knowing one's HIV status for more than one year and disclosure of HIV status were not associated with fewer symptoms. A large proportion of YLWH have psychological symptoms and the prevalence is greatest among those with behaviorally acquired infection. The high rate of psychological symptoms for youth not taking ART that is prescribed is a cause for concern. Symptoms do not appear to be a transient reaction to diagnosis of HIV.

Stress has significant adverse impacts on health outcomes of HIV-infected patients. Our study explored coping with stress strategies by HIV-infected Iranian patients. A qualitative content analysis study was conducted at the Consultation Clinic of HIV at the Imam Khomeini Hospital in Tehran, Iran in 2012. Twenty-six semi-structured in-depth interviews were done. Participants were asked about coping strategies for stress. After the first interview, continuous analysis of data was started and continued up to data saturation. Results showed that participants used two categories of strategies (emotion-based coping and problem-based coping) to cope with stress. Emotion-based coping had two sub-themes: adaptive and maladaptive. The problem-based coping category had three sub-themes: participation in education sessions, adherence to medication, and efforts to maintain a healthy lifestyle. Explanations of different strategies available to HIV-infected patients to cope with stress may help develop tailored interventions to improve the psychological conditions of people living with HIV.
