Prevalence of anxiety and its influencing factors among HIV-infected individuals during the SARS-CoV-2 infection
Objective To investigate the prevalence of anxiety among HIV-infected individuals during the SARS-CoV-2 infection and identify the influencing factors,so as to provide insights into management of anxiety.Methods A cross-sectional study was per-formed.HIV-infected individuals in Xiangcheng District,Suzhou City were enrolled,and participants'demographic features and preva-lence of SARS-CoV-2 infection were collected from AIDS Comprehensive Prevention and Control Information System and questionnaire surveys.All statistical analyses were performed using the software SPSS 26.0 Results A total of 406 HIV-infected individuals were enrolled,and the prevalence of SARS-CoV-2 infection was 81.28％among the study subjects,and 85.97％among the family members living with the study subjects.The prevalence of anxiety was 30.90％among study subjects during the SARS-CoV-2 infection(22.42％prevalence of mild anxiety and 8.48％prevalence of moderate anxiety).Multivariate analyses showed that age of＜30 years[odds ratio(OR)=2.812,95％confidential interval(CI):(1.141,6.930)],diagnosis of HIV infection for less than 3 years[OR=3.090,95％CI:(1.092,8.745)],presence of symptoms following SARS-CoV-2 infections[OR=2.526,95％CI:(1.465,4.354)],presence of 5 and more types of clinical symptoms[OR=1.891,95％CI:(1.060,3.373)],and recovery time for 2 weeks and longer[OR=2.854,95％CI:(1.331,6.116)]resulted in a higher possibility of developing anxiety.Conclusions The prevalence of SARS-CoV-2 infec-tions is higher among HIV-infected individuals than among family members living with HIV-infected individuals;however,there is a high prevalence rate of anxiety.Improved attention and early prevention should be given to HIV-infected individuals,notably young and incident individuals,with focus on disease progression and psychological status.
