“…Future studies should further explore its impact on functioning and risk behaviors and to further understand the adequate control of HIV transmission in this highly vulnerable group. A positive HIV serostatus did not appear related to higher depressive symptoms in Chinese IDUs, which is consistent with studies conducted among their Western counterparts (Davis, Metzger, Meyers, McLellan, & Mulvaney, 1995;Grassi et al, 2001;Malbergier & de Andrade, 2001) An examination of other studies suggests that depressive symptoms in this sample appear more similar to a population of IDUs rather than to HIV-positive non-users. In our sample, depressive symptoms were in the mild range among both the HIV-positive and HIV-negative groups (M ¼ 11.6, SD ¼ 11.2 and M ¼ 15.6, SD ¼ 12.6, respectively).…”

“…Depression and suicidal ideation are significantly elevated among HIV-positive non-users in China (Jin et al, 2006), but much less is known about those who are IDUs in areas of high HIV prevalence. HIV-positive and HIV-negative IDUs in the West endorse no significant difference in depressive symptoms, but these studies have been limited to men (Davis, Metzger, Meyers, McLellan, & Mulvaney, 1995;Grassi et al, 2001;Malbergier & de Andrade, 2001).…”

Aims-To evaluate, among intravenous drug users (IDUs), the hypothesized positive association of depression with substance-related behaviors including concurrent drug use and impairment, future drug use and impairment, alcohol use and impairment, needle sharing and substance use treatment participation, and to identify moderators of these associations.Design-Meta-analysis of reports on IDUs published in English in peer-reviewed journals since 1986 that contained data on depression and substance use outcome(s) with no restrictions on range of depression scores to select the sample.Setting-Fifty-five reports containing 55 samples met criteria, including 42 (76%) samples from clinical venues and 13 (24%) that were community-based.Participants-Mean age was 34.3 (standard deviation = 4.5) years, comprising approximately 68% men and 43% white, non-Hispanic subjects.Measurements-Depression was assessed with the Beck Depression Inventory, Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale (CES-D) and other validated scales or diagnostic interviews. The Addiction Severity Index was the most frequently used measure of substancerelated outcomes.Findings-A priori hypotheses pertaining to depression and the substance-related variables were supported, with the exception of the predicted association of depression and future drug use and impairment. Effect sizes were small. Moderating effects of gender were identified, including greater associations of depression with substance use treatment participation and needle sharing among women and a greater association of depression with future drug use and impairment among men. Effect sizes of moderators were large.Conclusions-Depression is associated with several substance-related behaviors, and select associations are stronger according to gender. Prospective associations of depression with future drug use and impairment are not immediately evident, but could be examined in subsequent research.

“…The observed rates of mental disorders among PLWH/A may, in fact, reflect elevated rates of mental disorders in the demographic groups most vulnerable to HIV infection. Further, although psychological distress is present in some individuals immediately upon learning that they are HIV-positive (Davis et al, 1995;Perry et al, 1993) and with an increase in HIV-related symptoms (Rabkin et al, 1997a;Sewell et al, 2000), most studies have not found a connection between the progression of HIV illness and the presence of a diagnosable mental disorder (Rabkin, 1996;Rabkin et al, 1997b;Sewell et al, 2000).…”

This article reviews the literature on the prevalence of mental and substance use disorders among persons living with HIV/AIDS. Drug use, both injection and non-injection, substantially increases the risk for HIV infection. While injection drug users have the highest prevalence rates for HIV, substantially elevated rates of HIV infection are also present among crack cocaine users and individuals with substance use disorders generally. Persons with HIV/AIDS and a mental and/or substance use disorder have highly variable patterns of accessing services. Persons with HIV/AIDS who have a serious mental illness are more highly involved with services than other groups. Most individuals with co-occurring disorders report some involvement with outpatient primary medical care, although ancillary services such as mental health and substance abuse treatment, transportation assistance, and case management improve involvement in medical care. Women with HIV/AIDS and co-occurring mental and substance use disorders experience unique vulnerabilities, particularly those related to exposure to traumatic events. Given the complexity of needs with which triply or multiply diagnosed individuals present, effective treatment programmes are likely to be those that provide some degree of integrated care.
