  2. Background • Destructive impact of stigma on the mental health of HIV-infected adults • Limited study has explored the protective effect of resilience on mental health among HIV-infected adults. • The purpose of the current study is to examine the associations among stigma, resilience, and mental health among HIV-infected adults in China.

  3. Methods • Sample A total of 3002 HIV-infected adults from 12 cities/counties in Guangxi, China participated in the survey. After removing 15 uncompleted questionnaires, we finally obtained data from 2,987 participants for the current study. • Measurements Demographics HIV-related characteristics: Duration of infection, CD4 cell count. Stigma: Internalized stigma, Perceived stigma Resilience Mental health problems: Depressive symptoms, Anxiety • Data Analysis Linear regressions were applied to examine the prediction models of depressive symptoms and anxiety on demographics, HIV related characteristics, and independent variables (resilience and stigma).

  7. Conclusion • Stigma has negative effects on the mental health of HIV-infected adults. • Resilience can not only protect HIV infected patients from suffering mental health difficulties, but also buffer the negative impact of stigma on HIV-infected patients' mental health. • Resilience-based intervention would be helpful for HIV-infected patients to effectively cope with stresses and improve mental health status.
