Research Has Established a Link Between Tx for Depression & Positive HIV Outcomes Depression treatment is associated with lower medical costs, greater HAART use and adherence, curtailed HIV disease progression, and lower AIDS-related mortality. Depression treatment is associated with lower medical costs, greater HAART use and adherence, curtailed HIV disease progression, and lower AIDS-related mortality. DEPRESSION TREATMENT POSITIVE HIV OUTCOMES
5
Cook, Grey et al., 2006 AIDS Care Use of antidepressants plus mental health therapy, or use of mental health therapy alone significantly increased the probability of HAART utilization, compared to receiving no depression treatment.
6
Turner, Laine et al., 2003 J Gen Intern Med Women diagnosed with depression who received psychiatric and antidepressant tx had nearly a two-fold greater adjusted odds of adherence to ART, compared to women whose depression was untreated.
7
Cook, Grey et al., 2004 Am J Public Health While depressed women were more than twice as likely to experience AIDS-related mortality as non-depressed (controlling for HAART use & adherence), those receiving MH tx were significantly less likely to die.
8
Sambamoorthi, Walkup et al., 2000 J Gen Int Med. Antidepressant treatment for depressed HIV-positive individuals was associated with a 24% reduction in monthly total healthcare costs even controlling for socioeconomic and clinical characteristics.

Women’s Interagency HIV Study (WIHS) Cohort study of HIV-positive women recruited in 6 cities: Chicago, Los Angeles, San Francisco/Bay Area, Bronx, Brooklyn, Washington, DC Data collection bi-annually beginning in 1994 (1 st cohort) until present Bi-annual in-person interviews, physical exam, blood work, gynecological exam Chart abstraction of medical records
10
World Mental Health (WMH) Composite International Diagnostic Interview (CIDI) Allows researchers to assess & study the impact of mental & substance use disorders Valid & reliable way for trained non-clinicians to generate diagnoses using the DSM-IV framework. Measures prevalence Measures prevalence Measures severity Measures severity Determines risk factors Determines risk factors Assesses service use Assesses service use Assesses use of medications Assesses use of medications Assesses who is treated, who isn’t, & barriers to treatment Assesses who is treated, who isn’t, & barriers to treatment

CIDI Participants (N=889) Average Age: 48 years (min-max = 27-77) Race/Ethnicity: 65% African American; 15% Hispanic/Latina; 17% White; 3% Other Education: 34% < HS education; 33% HS/GED; 25% some college; 8% college education/advanced degree Marital Status: 29% never married; 28% married/ cohabiting; 12% divorced; 11% widowed; 6% separated; 14% other Employment: 32% employed at time of interview Income: 51% < $12,000 annually Insurance Coverage: 96% insured

17
Additional Features of Tx for Depression 71.4% of all women reporting depression tx said their tx helped “a lot” 79.5% of women reporting depression tx reported a prescription for psychiatric medication
18
Conclusions Prevalence of depression in this cohort of HIV+ women was two- to four-fold greater than in the general U.S. population of women Most depressed women reported receiving tx from a professional; the large majority reported that tx was helpful. Depressed women receiving MH tx were significantly more likely to be on HAART, & were less likely to have unsuppressed viral loads.
