Sexual dysfunction in HIV-positive men is multi-factorial
To establish the prevalence of sexual dysfunction amongst HIV-positive men and to determine the factors associated with dysfunction we conducted a cross-sectional study in seven European HIV treatment centres. Data on medical history, antiretroviral treatment and laboratory results were collected by interview and case record review. Sexual function was evaluated by the participant self-completion of a questionnaire based on the International Inde…
Are we meeting the psychological needs of Black African HIV-positive individuals in London? Controlled study of referrals to a psychological medicine unit
The changing pattern of HIV infection in the UK includes an increase in the number of infections acquired as a result of heterosexual contact and Black African individuals represent a sizeable proportion of those affected. In most UK centres for the treatment of HIV infection, clinicians have limited experience in caring for Black African patients, and there is a dearth of information about the recognition and management of mental health problems…
Psychological distress and burnout among buddies
Work-related psychological distress (burnout) is a probable cause of drop-out among emotional support volunteers (buddies) who work with people living with AIDS. In addition to the emotional suffering and disruption to both the buddy and the buddied, burnout has significant cost implications for voluntary organizations in terms of training and recruitment. The aim of this study was to identify the demographic, situational and motivational factors…
Whose health is it? The views of injecting drug users with HIV infection and their professional carers
The views about autonomy in medical treatment of people with HIV infection (who had acquired it via the injection of drugs) and their professional carers were investigated using a standardized self-report instrument. Forty-two patients and 61 staff were entered in the study. Patients and staff reported strong endorsement of patient autonomy, but there were important differences between groups. Staff as a group reported higher preference for patie…
Comment on "Is HIV testing in antenatal clinics worthwhile? Can we afford it?"
We have read with interest the paper entitled "Is HIV testing in antenatal clinics worthwhile? Can we afford it?" which JM was recently asked to review. We feel that it is extremely important, as the paper suggests, to look at the cost implications of the DOH recommendation to offer universal voluntary HIV testing in antenatal clinics in "known or suspected areas of higher seroprevalence". It is also important, within this, to consider the ration…
Psychosexual problems in people with HIV infection
HIV infection can be associated with major psychological and social disturbance. Psychosexual problems would be expected to arise in the context of the infection, in view of the contribution that sexual behaviour can make to the acquisition and spread of HIV infection. Here the results of a study of the psychosexual consequences of HIV infection in gay men and men with haemophilia are presented, with the inclusion of data from control groups. Six…
Neuroscience of HIV infection
Whilst this conference presented no new or exciting breakthroughs in our understanding of the psychosocial or neuropsychological aspects of HIV disease, there were some useful contributions to our knowledge in these areas. Previous work suggesting that HIV seropositive individuals with HIV are no more likely to suffer poor psychosocial adjustment than matched HIV-controls. However, where psychiatric disorders are seen, the most common are adjustm…
