What is the relevance of mental health to HIV/AIDS care and treatment programs in developing countries? A systematic review
Open accessAbstract
The expansion of AIDS treatment initiatives in resource-poor settings provides an opportunity for integrating mental health care into these programs. This systematic review of the literature on HIV and mental illness in developing countries examines the mental health risk factors for HIV, mental health consequences of HIV, psychosocial interventions of relevance for HIV-infected and affected populations, and highlights the relevance of these data for HIV care and treatment programs. We reviewed seven studies that measured the prevalence of HIV infection among clinic and hospital-based populations of people with mental illness or assessed sexual risk behavior in these populations; 30 studies that described the mental health consequences of HIV infection; and two reports of psychosocial interventions. The review demonstrates the need for methodologically sound studies of mental health throughout the course of HIV, including factors that support good mental health, and interventions that employ identified variables (e.g. coping, family support) for efficacy in reducing symptoms of mental illness. Promising intervention findings should encourage investigators to begin to study the implementation of these interventions in HIV service settings.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
