Abstract

Understanding positive psychological factors (PPFs; internal strengths, socioemotional support) that promote optimal health outcomes among people with HIV (PWH) is increasingly important. 122 PWH and 98 people without HIV (PWoH) were included in multivariable regressions, testing interactions between HIV status and PPFs on 7 cognitive domains and 2 daily functioning outcomes, controlling for depressive symptoms. Overall, higher internal strengths were related to better learning and memory, whereas higher socioemotional support was related to better processing speed and psychomotor speed. PWH had a stronger positive relationship between PPFs and verbal fluency than PWoH. Overall, higher internal strengths were associated with fewer daily functioning impairments; however, only PWoH showed fewer functional declines with higher socioemotional support. PWH may require greater socioemotional support to accommodate an increased burden of comorbidities leading to functional difficulties. Among PWH, bolstering PPFs may improve cognition; however, internal strengths may particularly benefit daily functioning.

期刊介绍： AIDS and Behavior provides an international venue for the scientific exchange of research and scholarly work on the contributing factors, prevention, consequences, social impact, and response to HIV/AIDS. This bimonthly journal publishes original peer-reviewed papers that address all areas of AIDS behavioral research including: individual, contextual, social, economic and geographic factors that facilitate HIV transmission; interventions aimed to reduce HIV transmission risks at all levels and in all contexts; mental health aspects of HIV/AIDS; medical and behavioral consequences of HIV infection - including health-related quality of life, coping, treatment and treatment adherence; and the impact of HIV infection on adults children, families, communities and societies. The journal publishes original research articles, brief research reports, and critical literature reviews. provides an international venue for the scientific exchange of research and scholarly work on the contributing factors, prevention, consequences, social impact, and response to HIV/AIDS.
