Résumé : |
ENGLISH : Aims: To examine predictors of the current level of substance use and reductions in seriousness of substance use among adults living with HIV. Design: Cross-sectional survey. Setting: Four major metropolitan areas of the United States. Participants: Three thousand eight hundred six adults living with HIV. Measurement: Self-reported substance use, depression, and quality of life from audio computer assisted self-interviewing and computer assisted personal interviewing structured assessments. Findings: Recent substance use of persons living with HIV was classified as frequent (40%), occasional (32%), or abstinent (28%). Participants using drugs at a frequent level identified as heterosexual, had public insurance, and had higher levels of depression. Participants who reduced from a lifetime high seriousness in substance use were female, older, and knew their HIV status for a longer period of time. Conclusions: Screening and identification of substance use should be included in all treatment settings and community-based organizations serving adults living with HIV. (Review's abstract.) |
