“…In contrast, other research has demonstrated significantly higher rates of depression among women with HIV (e.g., Chaudron, 2010;Ciesla & Roberts, 2001;Kapetanovic et al, 2014;Ross et al, 2009). Untreated depression during pregnancy has been correlated with an increased risk for postpartum depression and adverse maternal and infant health outcomes, irrespective of HIV serostatus (Alder, Fink, Bitzer, Hosli, & Holzgreve, 2007;Field, 2011;Marcus, 2009), including negative consequences for the emotional, behavioral, and cognitive development of the child (Beck, 1995(Beck, , 1998O'Connor, Heron, Golding, Beveridge, & Glover, 2002;Ryan, Milis, & Misri, 2005;Sohr-Preston, 2006).…”

“…Pregnancy is a time of increased vulnerability for depression and anxiety in general (Gaynes et al, 2005;Ross & McLean, 2006;Viguera et al, 2011). Although high rates of depression and other mental health vulnerabilities have been reported in women with HIV in general (Basu, Chwastiak, & Bruce, 2005;Morrison et al, 2002) and during pregnancy (Kapetanovic et al, 2009, Kapetanovic, Dass-Brailsford, Nora, & Talisman, 2014Ross, Sawatphanit, & Zeller, 2009), there is a gap in the field of evidence regarding mental health in the perinatal period for women with HIV infection.…”

“…Prenatal depression also has been linked to delayed entry into prenatal care, premature birth, and low birth weight (Christensen, Stuart, Perry & Le, 2011;Righetti-Veltema, Conne-Perreard, Bousquet & Manzano, 2002). Depression among women with HIV in particular has been found to contribute to poor adherence to HIV treatment, faster disease progression, lower survival rates, increased substance abuse, and more frequent social and economic challenges (Bangsberg et al, 2006;Cook et al, 2002;Cook et al, 2007;Garcia de Olalla et al, 2002;Kapetanovic et al, 2014;Ledergerber et al, 1999;Paterson et al, 2000). Taken together, it is clear that for women with HIV the consequences of untreated depression during pregnancy and the postpartum may be particularly dire for both mother and child.…”

“…A recent review highlighted that psychiatric symptoms, particularly depression, and mental health vulnerabilities are widespread among HIV-infected women globally and have a potential to affect psychological well-being, quality of live and salient clinical outcomes (Kapetanovic 2014).Then, receiving a positive HIV diagnosis during pregnancy often elicits feelings of anxiety, depression and social isolation (Rochat 2006; Rotheram-Borus 2011). Poor mental health and a lack of social support are, in turn, associated with decreased adherence to ARV medication, and faster disease progression (Starace 2002;Cook 2006;Rotheram-Borus 2011).…”

Background: About 1.4 million pregnant women are living with HIV in low and middle-income countries with about 91% of these women residing in sub-Saharan Africa. HIV-infected pregnant women face several challenges that could decrease antiretroviral therapy adherence. Studies reported challenges such as poor mental health, lack of social support, fears of infecting children, medication side effects, cultural factors, economic instability, nausea and vomiting during pregnancy. This review investigated whether mobile phone text messaging could improve antiretroviral therapy in during and after pregnancy. Objectives : To assess the effectiveness mobile phone text messaging for improving adherence to antiretroviral therapy in HIV-infected pregnant women. To investigate whether mobile phone text messaging could improve follow-up in HIV-exposed infants. Search methods: We searched Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL), Scopus, MEDLINE via PubMed, Web of Science, CINAHL (EBSCO). Furthermore, we searched studies through HIV/AIDS conferences websites: International AIDS conferences, The European AIDS Clinical Society (EACS) conferences, International AIDS Society Conference on HIV Pathogenesis and Treatment (IAS). Two authors extracted data in the study eligibility form. Selection criteria: We selected randomized controlled trials (RCTs) assessing mobile phone text messaging as reminders for antiretroviral therapy uptake in HIV-infected pregnant women. Data collection and analysis: Two authors independently identified and assessed all studies that met inclusion criteria. Study design, characteristics of study populations, interventions and controls and study results were extracted by two review authors. Also, the risk of bias of included studies was assessed independently by two reviewers. We reported the results narratively as meta-analysis was not feasible because of differences in the study design. We reported the odds ratio with 95% confidence intervals for the different outcomes. Main results: We identified five eligible studies; three ongoing and two completed studies. Findings from the included studies showed that mobile phone text messaging did not increase antiretroviral therapy initiation (OR 1.79 95%CI 1.09 to 2.94, 307 participants, 1 study). However, there was an increase in maternal clinic attendance and HIV tested infants; (RR 1.66 95%CI 1.02 to 2.70, 381 participants, 1 study) and (OR 2.01 95%CI 1.03 to 3.92, 325 participants, 1 study), respectively. The overall quality of evidence was assessed as moderate. None of the included studies reported on adherence to antiretroviral therapy. Authors' Conclusions: The review revealed that mobile phone text messaging may improve maternal clinic attendance and number infants tested for HIV compared to the standard care. Mobile phone communication did not improve ART initiation compared to standard care. Further studies are needed to evaluate the value of mobile phone communication in promoting adherence to antiretroviral drugs among pregnan...

“…Additionally, none of the studies reviewed involved integration of HIV and mental health services within antenatal care programs. Further research is necessary since previous studies have identified psychiatric symptoms -particularly depression, as a common condition among pregnant women with HIV globally (Kapetanovic et al 2014).…”

Background: The frequency in which HIV and AIDS and mental health problems co-exist, and the complex bi-directional relationship between them, highlights the need for effective care models combining services for HIV and mental health. Here, we present a systematic review that synthesizes the literature on interventions and approaches integrating these services. Methods: This review was part of a larger systematic review on integration of services for HIV and non-communicable diseases. Eligible studies included those that described or evaluated an intervention or approach aimed at integrating HIV and mental health care. We searched multiple databases from inception until October 2015, independently screened articles identified for inclusion, conducted data extraction, and assessed evaluative papers for risk of bias. Results: Forty-five articles were eligible for this review. We identified three models of integration at the meso and micro levels: single-facility integration, multi-facility integration, and integrated care coordinated by a non-physician case manager. Single-site integration enhances multidisciplinary coordination and reduces access barriers for patients. However, the practicality and costeffectiveness of providing a full continuum of specialized care on-site for patients with complex needs is arguable. Integration based on a collaborative network of specialized agencies may serve those with multiple co-morbidities but fragmented and poorly coordinated care can pose barriers. Integrated care coordinated by a single case manager can enable continuity of care for patients but requires appropriate training and support for case managers. Involving patients as key actors in facilitating integration within their own treatment plan is a promising approach. Conclusion: This review identified much diversity in integration models combining HIV and mental health services, which are shown to have potential in yielding positive patient and service delivery outcomes when implemented within appropriate contexts. Our review revealed a lack of research in lowand middle-income countries, and was limited to most studies being descriptive. Overall, studies that seek to evaluate and compare integration models in terms of long-term outcomes and cost-effectiveness are needed, particularly at the health system level and in regions with high HIV and AIDS burden.
