“…Among PLWH, studies have explored factors associated with suicidality. Individual risk factors for suicidal ideation and behavior include: stressful life events/trauma (Plena, Singer, & Goldbeck, 2011), withdrawal/isolation from friends and family, physical illness or injury (Christiansen & Stenager, 2009;Riala, Ilomaki, Hakko, & Rasanen, 2011), sexual or other abuse (Weich, Patterson, Shaw, & Stewart-Brown, 2009), drug and alcohol misuse/dependency (Wilcox, Conner, & Caine, 2004), depression and anxiety (Capron, Gonzalez, Parent, Zvolensky, & Schmidt, 2012;Gibbs et al, 2009;Phillips, 2010), and lack of disclosure of HIV status and ceasing ART (Sherr et al, 2008). Interpersonal risk factors for suicidal ideation and behavior include: relationship breakups and domestic violence (Devries et al, 2011), homelessness, torture or trauma survival, reluctance to seek help (Francis, Pirkis, Dunt, Blood, & Davis, 2002), financial difficulties (McNamara, 2013), and managing negative family and community responses to same sex attraction (Pitts, Smith, Mitchell, & Patel, 2006;Ryan, Huebner, Diaz, & Sanchez, 2009).…”
