This study explored the HIV-related stressors that people living with HIV (PLWH) commonly experience and express as stressful at the time of diagnosis and 1 year later. The factors associated with stress levels and whether social support would moderate the negative effects of stress on psychological health (depressive and anxiety symptoms) were also investigated. Newly diagnosed PLWH were consecutively recruited in this study.

Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates the long-term relationship between psychosocial issues and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in newly diagnosed people living with HIV (PLWH) during their first year post-diagnosis.
- - Researchers assessed 410 participants using various scales to measure depression, stress, and social support at the start and after one year, categorizing depression trajectories into four groups based on changes in scores.
- - Results showed that high baseline stress levels predicted lower HRQoL at the one-year mark, while new-onset or persistent depression negatively affected HRQoL compared to those who remained unaffected during the study period.

Article Synopsis
- Free antiretroviral therapy has been available in China since 2004, but many people living with HIV struggle with adherence to their medication, especially as treatment length increases.
- A study in central China found that while 85.5% of participants had good adherence to their newly initiated therapy, 14.5% showed poor adherence, linked to factors like depression and not disclosing their HIV status.
- The study suggests that personalized interventions, including psychological support, are needed to improve medication adherence among people living with HIV.
