Self-rated Health and HIV Outcomes Among Adults with… : AIDS
nally representative sample of 3,692 people with HIV (PWH). Respondents reported SRH on a 5-point Likert type scale (poor to excellent), which we dichotomized into “good or better” and “poor or fair”. We computed weighted percentages with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) and age-adjusted prevalence ratios (aPRs) to investigate associations between SRH and HIV outcomes and demographic, psychosocial, and behavioral characteristics. Results: Nationally, 72% of PWH reported “good or better” SRH. PWH with the following characteristics had a lower prevalence of “good or better” SRH, compared with those without: any missed HIV care appointment in the last 12 months (aPR 0.86, 95% CI:0.81–0.91), symptoms of moderate or severe depression (aPR 0.51, 95% CI:0.43–0.59) and anxiety (aPR 0.60, 95% CI:0.54–0.68), unstable housing or homelessness (aPR 0.77, 95% CI:0.71–0.82), and hunger or food insecurity (aPR 0.74, 95% CI:0.69–0.80), as well as having a mean CD4 count 500 cells/
