Abstract

For people living with HIV, lack of adherence to medication regimen is a significant problem with serious deleterious outcomes. Reasons for non-adherence are co-concurring psychosocial health conditions—also known as syndemic conditions—such as symptoms of depression, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), past physical or sexual abuse, intimate partner violence (IPV), stimulant use, and binge drinking. Majority of all new HIV infections in the United States are among men who have sex with men (MSM). This dissertation reports on a secondary analysis of cross-sectional data from older MSM living with HIV receiving treatment at two outpatient HIV clinics in San Francisco.
