Many IDP came both from nearby regions of Myanmar [...]
Relationships between spirituality and mental stress in people living with HIV in China
There are limited reports on the relationship between spirituality and mental stress in PLWH in China, who may be subject to anti-religious pressures from the government. In this study, we aimed to understand whether spirituality influences Chinese PLWH's mental stress and, if so, at what level. We recruited 200 PLWHs from Beijing's Ditan Hospital to complete a cross-sectional survey inquiring about their practice of spirituality as well as their…
Longitudinal trajectory of the association between quality of life and depression among people living with HIV in China

The WHO ASSIST screening test was used for frequency …
Depression and anxiety among HIV-positive men who have sex with men and men who have sex with women in China
China is experiencing an emerging HIV epidemic among men who have sex with men (MSM). Minority stress theory posits that marginalized populations experience additional stress, which influences experiences of psychological distress and health outcomes. This study aimed to understand psychological distress of MSM relative to men who have sex with women (MSW) in an urban Chinese setting. Cross-sectional survey data were collected from 162 HIV-positi…

Invisible Care
Caregiving provided by friends, which has long been under recognized, plays an important role in the LGBT community. Because lower levels of caregiving demands are offset by less social support, LGBT friend-caregivers experience similar levels of perceived stress and depressive symptomatology to those providing care to spouses and partners. Policy and service reforms are needed to better acknowledge the continuum of informal caregiving relationsh…
Health Equity and Aging of Bisexual Older Adults

Extramarital Sex Among Vietnamese Married Men
Research on extramarital sex (EMS) is commonly conducted from a perspective that implicitly understands this behavior as a violation of the marital relationship. In contrast, Vietnamese cultural norms have, at some points in history, condoned if not outright encouraged EMS in the name of preserving family lineage. Yet little is known about the prevalence of EMS among contemporary Vietnamese men and its association with marriage quality. This is a…

A Preliminary Randomized Controlled Trial of a Nurse-Delivered Medication Adherence Intervention Among HIV-Positive Outpatients Initiating Antiretroviral Therapy in Beijing, China
In sickness and in health
In China, there are currently an estimated 180,000 women between 16 and 45 years of age living with HIV. However, we know very little about their lived experiences. Given the spread of the AIDS epidemic in China and the burden it exerts on quality of life, there is an urgent need to understand how HIV affects Chinese women, particularly in the context of their marriages. How do they negotiate the extreme stigma of their illness in making decision…
