Determinants of benzodiazepine use in a representative population of HIV-infected individuals
HIV infection may result in stressful situations such as disclosure to others and could be a mediator between seropositivity status and psychiatric illness, depression, or anxiety. Several results have shown that anxiolytic use (mainly benzodiazepines [BDZ]) is highly prevalent in HIV-infected individuals, but few studies have highlighted to what extent this use could be associated with HIV disclosure. A national cross-sectional survey representa…

Harmful alcohol consumption and patterns of substance use in HIV-infected patients receiving antiretrovirals (ANRS-EN12-Vespa Study)
Alcohol abuse affects secondary prevention and disease progression in HIV-infected patients, and adherence and response to treatment in those chronically treated. The objective of this study was to estimate the prevalence of harmful alcohol consumption (HAC) using various indicators and identify which groups of patients may require specific targeted interventions for HAC risk reduction. A cross-sectional survey, based on a random sample represent…
Suicide attempts among people living with HIV in France
This study examined the prevalence and characteristics of attempted suicide among a representative sample of French Human Immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infected individuals. In 2003, a face-to-face survey was conducted among people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA) selected in a random, stratified sample of French hospital departments. Among solicited individuals, 2,932 agreed to participate and were asked if they had ever AS. Among the respondents, 23…
Sexual Difficulties in People Living with HIV in France—Results from a Large Representative Sample of Outpatients Attending French Hospitals (ANRS-EN12-Vespa)
Management of HIV-related stigma and adherence to Haart
This study investigated patterns of HIV disclosure to significant others (parents, siblings, children, other relatives, friends and colleagues) and describe them in terms of socio-demographic background and other characteristics, including experiences of AIDS-related discrimination. It also assessed the relationship between disclosure patterns and adherence to HAART. We used a cross-sectional survey conducted among a national representative sampl…

Factors associated with Efavirenz discontinuation in a large community-based sample of patients
Efavirenz (EFV) is a potent antiretroviral drug; its use may be limited, however, by psychiatric symptoms that require its discontinuation. We sought to identify the characteristics that placed patients at an elevated risk of discontinuation. Data for this cross-sectional study came from a self-administered questionnaire distributed by French AIDS community associations; it collected information about sociodemographic characteristics, addictive b…
Opinions toward pain management and palliative care
Despite the introduction of HAART, pain is still a common symptom in people living with HIV/AIDS. For these persons, pain management supplied by palliative care teams may support standard HIV care. This study compares opinions toward palliative care of 83 HIV specialists and 217 oncologists (French national survey: Palliative Care 2002). Data were collected by phone questionnaire. A cluster analysis was carried out in order to identify contrasted…
Attitudes Toward Doping and Recreational Drug Use among French Elite Student-Athletes
This study examined attitudes toward doping among 458 French elite student-athletes (ESAs) ages 16–24, their correlates, and their relationship with cigarette, alcohol, and cannabis use. We found a consensus among ESAs concerning negative aspects of doping. A cluster analysis showed, however, that statements dealing with benefits of doping were endorsed by two significant minorities of respondents. These ESAs were more frequently older males with…
Risky Behaviours among Young Elite-Student-Athletes
Since the end of the 1980s, 'youth risky behaviours' have become a major issue for public health. The relationship between these behaviours and sporting activity is well-documented but still controversial. This article examines some sociological hypotheses related to this relationship, with data from a pilot survey conducted on a sample of 458 elite-student-athletes (ESAs) aged 16-24, gathered and trained in specialized public centres. We found a…
Hospitalization for depressive syndrome in a cohort of HIV-infected patients contaminated through injecting drug use
The objective of this study was to estimate the relative impact of hospitalization for depressive syndrome (DS) on all causes of hospitalization and characterize individuals more likely to experience hospitalization for DS in the French cohort study, Manif 2000, of patients HIV infected through injection drug use. We selected all patients followed-up to the 24-month visit (C24) who missed no more than one visit. Using medical records, dates and c…
Socio-economic conditions, health status and employment among persons living with HIV/Aids in France in 2001
To investigate employment levels and identify barriers to work among persons living with HIV/AIDS in France in 2001, we conducted a cross-sectional study among HIV-infected patients seen in the hospital outpatient clinics of the two French regions most affected: Ile-de-France (IDF) and Provence-Alpes-Côte-d'Azur (PACA). Of the 840 outpatients included in the study, 58.8% in IDF and 46.8% in PACA were currently employed, and 28.1 and 47.8%, respec…
Injecting drug users' adherence to HIV antiretroviral treatments
This paper investigates physicians' judgements about adherence to antiretroviral treatment (ART) among patients who have been HIV-infected through injecting drug use (IDU). Comparisons were made between data collected from physicians at enrollment (January 1996 to January 1998) of a prospective cohort study (MANIF 2000) and self-declarations of 196 HIV-infected injecting drug users (IDUs) who have been prescribed ART. The likelihood of being perc…
Impact of drug maintenance treatment on injection practices among French HIV-infected IDUs
Drug maintenance treatment (DMT) has only been recently introduced in France (methadone programmes in March 1995, buprenorphine prescriptions in ambulatory medicine in February 1996) in relation to risk reduction policies for HIV infection among intravenous drug users (IDUs). Impact of DMT was assessed in the period of inclusion (October 1995-December 1997) of a French cohort of patients HIV infected through intravenous drug use the MANIF 2000 st…
Access to antiretroviral treatment among French HIV infected injection drug users
STUDY OBJECTIVE: To determine the influence of continued drug use and its perception by prescribing physicians on access to antiretroviral treatment among French HIV infected injection drug users (IDUs). DESIGN: Cross sectional including enrollment data (October 1995-1996) of the cohort study MANIF 2000. Access to treatment is compared in three groups: former IDUs (n = 68) and active IDUs whether or not this behaviour remains undetected (n = 38) …
Syringe vending machines for injection drug users
OBJECTIVES: This study evaluated the usefulness of vending machines in providing injection drug users with access to sterile syringes in Marseille, France. METHODS: Self-administered questionnaires were offered to 485 injection drug users obtaining syringes from 32 pharmacies, 4 needle exchange programs, and 3 vending machines. RESULTS: Of the 343 respondents (response rate = 70.7%), 21.3% used the vending machines as their primary source of syri…

HIV prenatal screening in south-eastern France
Two complementary surveys were carried out in the 89 hospital units of South-Eastern France which deal with pregnant women. Firstly, in November 1991, medical chiefs of these units were interviewed face-to-face about their current HIV screening policy. Secondly, between Jan 27 and March 22, 1992, all women at the end of their pregnancy attending these units were included in an anonymous unlinked seroprevalence survey, irrespective of pregnancy ou…
