HIV-related symptoms and psychological functioning in a cohort of homosexual men
DG Ostrow, A Monjan, J Joseph, M VanRaden, R Fox, L Kingsley, J Dudley and J Phair
Midwest AIDS Biobehavioral Research Center, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor 48109.
The authors administered the Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression
(CES-D) Scale to 4,954 homosexual men in the Multicenter AIDS Cohort Study.
HIV antibody status at enrollment was a less important predictor of
psychological distress than were reported physical symptoms. Multivariate
analysis showed an association between a high score on each CES-D Scale
component and the number of self- reported possible AIDS- or HIV-related
symptoms, perceived lymphadenopathy, and absence of "someone to talk to
about serious problems." This relationship between self-reported physical
symptoms and psychological distress suggests a possible etiologic
relationship between perceived AIDS risk and psychological symptoms in men
at risk of AIDS.
