The objectives of the study were (1) to examine the role of coping styles in disease progression in models controlling for initial CD4+ cell counts, distress, and health behavior in a sample of HIV- positive homosexual men (n = 65), and (2) to investigate the relationship between coping styles and distress (e.g. depression, anxiety, negative ruminations). A consistent association between planful problem-solving coping and disease progression was demonstrated. Distress was positively correlated with indicators of passive-defensive coping style (e.g. self- controlling, escape-avoidance), and negatively correlated with planful problem-solving and positive reappraisal. The results suggest that coping styles may merit a specific focus in future research of psychological factors in HIV infection, particularly as they may relate both to medical outcome and to the social/emotional aspects of being HIV-infected
