Ethnic and racial sexual minority men with HIV have a disproportionately higher risk of HIV-related cardiovascular disease (CVD). There is a lack of tailored and culturally salient behavioral interventions to address HIV-related chronic illness in ethnic and racial sexual minority men, and literature on their understanding and awareness of modifiable behavioral risks is limited. The purpose of this study was to assess illness perceptions about HIV and HTN, and describe physical activity, tobacco, and e-cigarette use in Black and Latinx sexual minority men living with HIV.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFBackground: As individuals living with HIV age, they often experience both physical and psychological symptoms-along with potential reductions in social support-which can significantly affect their health-related quality of life (HRQOL)-a crucial measure in HIV care. However, research exploring the potential predictive roles of social support and symptom experiences in HRQOL among older people living with HIV (PLWH) is limited.
Objectives: This cross-sectional study aimed to investigate relationships between social support, symptom experiences, and HRQOL in older adults with HIV.

- * While HRQoL levels were similar between people living with HIV and those without, common issues reported by PLWH included fatigue, sleep difficulties, and feelings of sadness, indicating a need for holistic and psychological support beyond just medical care.
