While studies in high-income settings report strong associations between depression, stigma, social support, and QoL, evidence from low-resource contexts such as Ethiopia remains limited. This study examined the relationship between depression and QoL among 627 WLHIV on stable antiretroviral therapy (ART) for at least six months. Data were collected prospectively at three-month intervals between September 2023 and April 2024 using structured interviews. Validated tools assessed depression (PHQ-9), HIV-related stigma, social support (Oslo scale), and QoL (WHOQOL-HIV BREF-Eth-27). Repeated measures ANOVA and linear mixed-effects models evaluated QoL trajectories and the impact of depression while adjusting for confounders. Depression was significantly associated with lower scores across all QoL domains: general (β = -0.06, p = 0.000), physical (β = -0.22, p = 0.000), psychological (β = -0.25, p=), spiritual (β = -0.08, p = 0.000), independence (β = -0.13, p = 0.000), environmental (β = -0.23, p = 0.000), and social (β = -0.09, p = 0.000). Non-adherence to ART also negatively affected multiple domains, including general (β = -0.28, p = 0.035), physical (β = -0.51, p = 0.031), psychological (β = -0.72, p = 0.003), social (β = -0.50, p = 0.006), and environmental (β = -0.97, p = 0.015). HIV-related stigma reduced QoL in six domains, while greater social support was positively associated with all domains. These findings underscore the urgent need to address depression, stigma, and ART adherence while promoting social support to improve QoL among WLHIV in Ethiopia.","PeriodicalId":7543,"journal":{"name":"AIDS and Behavior","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2025-06-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144473698","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Ninety couples were randomized to couples MI with breathalyzers (MI-plus), couples MI without breathalyzers (MI-only), or enhanced usual care (EUC). Eligible couples had at least one partner on antiretroviral therapy (ART) with a positive AUDIT-C screen. Primary outcomes included retention, session attendance, breathalyzer completion, and satisfaction rates. Exploratory outcomes were unhealthy alcohol use (i.e., positive AUDIT-C screen and/or phosphatidylethanol [PEth] ≥ 35 ng/ml), number of drinking days in past month, AUDIT-C score, optimal adherence to ART (95% or higher), and viral suppression. Retention and attendance rates were 97.7% and 83.3% at 6-months. Breathalyzer completion was limited (58.2%) due to cellular and power challenges. Satisfaction exceeded 94.8%. MI-only and MI-plus arms had larger declines in drinking days and AUDIT-C score and larger increases in ART adherence vs. EUC. We observed no differences in biomarker-confirmed unhealthy alcohol use, which remained high across all arms at two months (94.6%, 96.5%, and 100%) for EUC, MI-only, and MI-plus. Viral suppression rates were 86.7%, 96.5%, and 86.2% for EUC, MI-only, and MI-plus. Between-arm differences for outcomes were non-significant; however, moderation analysis revealed that MI-only (p < 0.001) and MI-plus (p < 0.016) significantly reduced AUDIT-C scores for those with severe drinking (AUDIT-C > 7).

More frequent testing was also associated with PrEP eligibility; less frequent testing was associated with living in a non-urban area. More frequent HIV testing was reported by groups that experience higher HIV incidence and by those who had indications for PrEP, indicating that HIV testing frequency aligns with need for many GBMSM.

Eligible participants were 18 + and had previously taken or been prescribed oral or LAI PrEP. They were asked their opinions on PrEP, barriers to access, perceived HIV risk, and PrEP stigma.

Common concerns about PrEP included side effects (n = 48), cost of medication (n = 21), and cost of clinic visits/tests (n = 21). Of those taking oral PrEP, 56.3% reported remaining on oral because LAI was not offered to them and/or they were not aware of it.

Overall, participants had low to moderate PrEP stigma scores. Despite majority preference for LAI PrEP, patients are frequently unaware of or not offered LAI.

Leveraging an ongoing study endeavoring to increase the yield of standard-of-care contact tracing by re-interviewing a subset of RDPs, we assessed RDP engagement during first and second interviews and compared the two. We used Likert scale scores to develop and employ a 35-point index tool, to assess engagement during first interviews (standard of care) and second interviews (executed in a parent study to inform RDPs of clustering in an attempt to identify additional contacts). Cronbach's Alpha was used to assess the internal consistency of the index, and differences between the index scores of paired (first vs. second) interviews were assessed using paired Student's t-tests. Between January/2021 and December/2022, first interviews were performed with 120 RDPs, and second interviews with 20 of the 120 RDPs. The index was simple to use and internally consistent (Alpha = 0.93). Higher engagement was observed in first interviews (~ 30/35, soon after diagnosis) and lower engagement in second interviews (~ 22/35, usually several weeks later) (P < 0.01). Using a novel engagement tool, we observed diminished engagement between first and second contact tracing interviews, suggesting the limits of RDPs' collaboration with public health praxis. The simple, reliable, and informative engagement index we developed and tested may be used in the future to explore interactions between RDPs and public health practitioners.","PeriodicalId":7543,"journal":{"name":"AIDS and Behavior","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2025-06-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12272342/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144309422","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
