Lebanese People Living with HIV : Psychiatric Co-morbidities and Psycho-Social Environment

Data are lacking on the psychiatric and psycho-social profiles of Middle-Eastern people living with HIV (PLHIV). Our study aimed to establish the prevalence and correlates of mental illness in a sample of Lebanese PLHIV, and to delineate their socio-cultural reality. PLHIV, either attending a private ID clinic or a non-governmental organization, were interviewed. A total of 94 patients were included. Sixty-nine (73.4%) were found to have at least one psychiatric disorder. Only nine participants were currently receiving psychotropic medications. The most common diagnosis was major depression, occurring in half of the subjects. Homosexual or bisexual orientation predicted the presence of a current depression (p = 0.024), and ART status was negatively associated with current depression (p = 0.028). The rate of psychiatric disorders is clearly higher than that of the general population. PLHIV with a homosexual or bisexual orientation face a double stigma, perhaps making them more vulnerable to depression. Our findings need to be replicated in larger studies with more representative samples.
