Mashup Score: 21Self-rated Health and HIV Outcomes Among Adults with... : AIDS - 14 day(s) ago
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/

Mashup Score: 1COVID-19 Severity in People With HIV Compared With Those... : JAIDS Journal of Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndromes - 19 day(s) ago
cal record data from 3 large clinical practice groups. We then used regression models to compare outcomes among PWH versus propensity score–matched people without HIV (matched 20:1) for severe COVID-19 (pneumonia or acute respiratory distress syndrome), hospitalization, and hospital length of stay. Results: We identified 171,058 individuals with COVID-19; among them, 768 PWH were matched to 15,360 individuals without HIV. Overall, severe COVID-19 and hospitalization were similar in PWH and those without HIV (severe COVID-19: 3.8% vs 3.0%, adjusted odds ratio [OR] 1.27, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.86–1.87; hospitalization: 12.1% vs 11.3%, adjusted OR: 1.08, 95% CI: 0.87 to 1.35). Compared with people without HIV, PWH with low CD4 T-cell counts (<200 cells/mm3) had more severe COVID-19 (adjusted OR: 3.99, 95% CI: 2.06 to 7.74) and hospitalization (adjusted OR: 2.26, 95% CI: 1.35 to 3.80), but PWH with high CD4 counts had lower odds of hospitalization (adjusted OR: 0.73, 95% CI: 0.52
