HIV and vascular disease confer additive effects on apathy
Open AccessSteven Paul Wood, Steven Paul Woods et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2026
Apathy occurs in approximately one-third of people with HIV (PWH) and adversely affects everyday functioning, but we know little about the role of modifiable contributors to its expression. The present study examined whether vascular disease, which is commonly comorbid with HIV, plays a role in the frequency and severity of apathy among PWH. Participants in this cross-sectional, between-groups study included 319 PWH and 133 people without HIV who…
Health literacy mediates the effects of educational attainment on online pharmacy navigation skills in older adults with HIV disease
Anastasia Matchanova, David P Sheppard et al.ARTICLEPsychology & Health2023
Objective The Internet serves an increasingly critical role in health behaviors for older adults with chronic medical conditions. Guided by theories of health behaviors and literacy, this study examined whether the relationship between educational attainment and online pharmacy skills in older persons with HIV disease (PWH) is mediated by health literacy. Design: Participants included 98 PWH age 50 and older who completed the Test of Online Pharm…
Executive functions mediate the association between alcohol use and declarative memory symptoms in daily life
David P Sheppard, Anastasia Matchanova et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2023
Alcohol use is associated with memory problems in young adults with HIV, but the cognitive mechanisms of that association are not known. Sixty adults (aged 19–24 years) living with HIV were administered the Alcohol, Smoking, and Substance Involvement Screening Test to assess alcohol use, Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function for self-reported executive functions, and the Prospective and Retrospective Memory Questionnaire (PRMQ) for dail…
Racial differences in scores on the HIV Dementia Scale
Ilex Beltran‐Najera, Ilex Beltran-Najera et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2023
There are many obstacles to screening for HIV-associated neurocognitive disorders (HAND), including the influence of various sociodemographic effects on screening measures. This study examined possible racial bias on the HIV Dementia Scale (HDS) in screening for HAND among 39 Black and 84 White persons living with HIV (PLWH). Black PLWH had significantly lower raw HDS scores than White PLWH, which was mediated by lower oral word reading scores. N…

Latent structure of health literacy and its association with health-related management and decision-making in HIV
Anastasia Matchanova, Michelle Babicz et al.ARTICLEPsychology & Health2021
Objective Determine the latent structure of health literacy in persons living with HIV (PLWH) and its association with health management and decision-making. Method: Participants included 220 PLWH and 123 seronegative participants from Southern California and Alabama who completed a battery of well-validated health literacy measures, along with assessments of health management self-efficacy, health-related decision-making, depression, and basic c…
The relationship between sex-related alcohol expectancies and hazardous drinking among persons with HIV disease
Andrew H Rogers, Clayton Neighbors et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2021
Hazardous drinking is a clinically significant problem among persons with HIV (PWH) disease, and is associated with a number of poor outcomes. Hazardous drinking among PWH is associated with risky substance use and sexual behavior, but little work has examined factors that may be associated with greater hazardous drinking and subsequent risky sexual behaviors among PWH. Research among the general population suggests that sex-related alcohol expec…
Critical, and not functional, health literacy is associated with missed HIV clinic visits in adults and older adults living with HIV in the Deep South
Pariya L Fazeli, Steven Paul Wood et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2020
Engagement in care is a key component of the HIV treatment cascade and is influenced by biopsychosocial factors. Little is known about the association of health literacy with this impactful outcome in people living with HIV (PLWH). Ninety-five PLWH completed a comprehensive battery including health literacy measures covering several domains (i.e., numeracy, reading, self-efficacy, and ability to appraise and access health information). Engagement…

Promoting resilience through neurocognitive functioning in youth living with HIV
Open AccessAmy L Pennar, Amy Pennar et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2018
Using a phased model of intervention development, we developed an intervention to promote resilience in youth living with HIV via improved neurocognitive resources. First, youth completed a naturalistic prospective memory (PM) task and were randomized into a visualization condition or control condition. Next, 47 of these participants completed another naturalistic PM task and were randomized into Calendaring condition, an Alarm condition, a Combi…

Methamphetamine use and neuropsychiatric factors are associated with antiretroviral non-adherence
David J Moore, Kaitlin Blackstone et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2012
The present study assesses the impact of methamphetamine (METH) on antiretroviral therapy (ART) adherence among HIV+ persons, as well as examines the contribution of neurocognitive impairment and other neuropsychiatric factors [i.e., major depressive disorder (MDD), antisocial personality disorder (ASPD), and attention deficit disorder (ADHD)] for ART non-adherence. We examined HIV+ persons with DSM-IV-diagnosed lifetime history of METH abuse/dep…

HIV-associated neurocognitive disorders before and during the era of combination antiretroviral therapy
Open Accessfor the CHARTER and HNRC Groups, Robert K Heaton et al.ARTICLEJournal of NeuroVirology2011
Combination antiretroviral therapy (CART) has greatly reduced medical morbidity and mortality with HIV infection, but high rates of HIV-associated neurocognitive disorders (HAND) continue to be reported. Because large HIV-infected (HIV+) and uninfected (HIV-) groups have not been studied with similar methods in the pre-CART and CART eras, it is unclear whether CART has changed the prevalence, nature, and clinical correlates of HAND. We used compa…
HIV-associated neurocognitive disorders persist in the era of potent antiretroviral therapy

OBJECTIVES: This is a cross-sectional, observational study to determine the frequency and associated features of HIV-associated neurocognitive disorders (HAND) in a large, diverse sample of infected individuals in the era of combination antiretroviral therapy (CART). METHODS: A total of 1,555 HIV-infected adults were recruited from 6 university clinics across the United States, with minimal exclusions. We used standardized neuromedical, psychiatr…
Neurocognitive Consequences of HIV Infection in Older Adults
Open AccessJ Cobb Scott, Steven Paul Wood et al.ARTICLEAIDS and Behavior2010
The incidence and prevalence of older adults living with HIV infection is increasing. Recent reports of increased neuropathologic and metabolic alterations in older HIV+ samples, including increased cortical beta-amyloid, have led some researchers to suggest that aging with HIV may produce a neuropsychological profile akin to that which is observed in "cortical" dementias (e.g., impairment in memory consolidation). To evaluate this possibility, w…
