Self-schemas are beliefs about oneself and include self-esteem, HIV symptom management self-efficacy, and self-compassion. Beck's cognitive theory of depression guided the analysis of data from a sample of 1766 PLHIV …

  • Associations between the legal context of HIV, perceived social capital, and HIV antiretroviral adherence in North America

    Open AccessJ Craig Phillips, Allison R Webel et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2013

    Treatment approaches offer clear advantages in controlling HIV and reducing HIV transmission at the population level. These advantages, however, will have limited benefit for adherence to treatments without also addressing the social and structural challenges that allow HIV to continue to spread among society's most vulnerable populations

  • A cross-sectional description of social capital in an international sample of persons living with HIV/Aids (PLWH)

The proportion of respondents from each country in the total sample reportin…

  • Does “asymptomatic” mean without symptoms for those living with HIV infection

    Suzanne Willard, William L Holzemer et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2009
