Overview
• HIV Epidemiology (with a focus on the South)
• Brief overview of HIV pathophysiology
• Epidemiology of mental illness in people living
with HIV
• The impact of stress and mental health on HIV
infection
Current State of the Union
• 1,178,350 people aged 13 or older are living
with HIV in the U.S.
– 20% of these people do not know they are
positive
• Approximately 50000 Americans become
infected each year

HIV in the Central Nervous System
• Infected monocytes and lymphocytes carry
virus across blood-brain barrier
• Immune response to viral proteins is primary
driver of neuronal damage
• CNS may exist as a reservoir for virus, even
with undetectable plasma viral loads
• Antiretrovirals (ARVs) may have varying CNS
penetration
• Question of advanced aging

Treatment of mental illness in HIV
• Use caution with medications due to potential
interactions with ARV therapy
• Certain ARVs may exacerbate psychiatric
symptoms
• Multidisciplinary approach – communication
with primary HIV provider
Slide courtesy of Karen Ingersoll PhD
ARV Therapy may exacerbate mental
illness
• Efavirenz (Sustiva) causes Technicolor dreams (which
many people like and relate to an LSD trip), dizziness,
headache, confusion, stupor, impaired concentration,
agitation, amnesia, depersonalization, hallucinations,
insomnia
• For most people these side effects resolve in 6-10
weeks, but it can continue and may worsen PTSD
• Can cause anxiety, depression and suicidal ideation
• Monitor people with a history of depression carefully
• Efavirenz can cause a false positive for cannabis

IMPACT OF MENTAL ILLNESS FOR
PEOPLE LIVING WITH HIV
“A strong body makes the mind strong.”
“If the body be feeble, the mind will not be strong”
-Thomas Jefferson
Case: Stigma and Denial
• 38 yo AAM with HIV/AIDS, depression, and a
history of PCP and Hepatitis B
• Struggles to accept diagnosis; stops
medications when feels better; does not
disclose status to partners or family members.

taking your meds

Epidemic of Poor Engagement
• Increasing reports of poor engagement in care,
especially PLWH in the South.
– Up to 60% of PLWH in Virginia out of care. (Dolan et al
2007)
– 40% of people receiving ADAP services in South
Carolina (n = 13,042) have not had a viral load
measured in the previous 12 months. (Olatosi et al
2009)
– 75% of ADAP-enrolled patients at a large Universitybased southern HIV clinic do not pick up no-cost
medications frequently enough to ensure virologic
suppression. (Godwin et al 2009)
The Consequences of Poor
Engagement
• Decreased CD4, increased viral load faster
progression to AIDS
• Development of resistance mutations
• Untreated comorbidities (psychiatric and
physiologic)
• Increased virologic failure(Mugavero et al. 2009)
• Healthcare costs for hospitalization and ER visits
(Horstmann et al. 2010)
• Mortality (Giordano et al. 2007)

Factors associated with poor
engagement Intimate partner violence (?)
•Younger age
•Higher baseline CD4
•Substance abuse
Re-engagement in
care
Retention in Care
•Older age
•African American race
•Higher baseline viral load
•Missed visits
•Higher baseline CD4
Adapted from Ulett et al. 2009
•Lifetime traumatic events
•Depression

•Uninsured status
Definition
• Intimate partner violence (IPV) = “…physical,
sexual, or psychological harm by a current or
former partner or spouse. This type of
violence can occur among heterosexual or
same-sex couples and does not require sexual
intimacy.”*
– Not limited to cohabitating partners
*Centers for Disease Control
IPV and Health
• Prevalence
– Women in U.S. ~ 25%1
– Men in U.S. ~ 4.7-16.4% (MMWR 2007)
• gay/bisexual men ~ 32.4%2
• IPV associated with poorer general health,
depressive symptoms, and unhealthy
behaviors3-5
• Physiologic associations

IPV and HIV

• IPV Prevalence
– HIV+ women ~ 14-67%
– 23% - 53.1% of HIV+ men and women3
• Increased lifetime trauma associated with:
– AIDS-related mortality
– all-cause mortality in HIV+ patients
– decreased adherence to ART4

Implications of Findings
• IPV predicts worse outcomes for people living
with HIV
• HIV care providers should implement routine
screening for IPV
– Men should be included
• Identifying patients with trauma exposures
may allow for the development of targeted
interventions to improve engagement and
disease outcomes
Summary
• HIV is prevalent and the epidemic is now
focused in the southeastern U.S.
• For PLWH, mental illness is a common
comorbid condition which has both direct and
indirect effects on disease outcomes
• Incorporating neuropsychological assessments
and screening for stressors is an important
element of care of PLWH

IPV = intimate partner violence
Psychotropics Interact with ARVs
Olanzapine
Ritonavir shown to decrease
levels of olanzapine up to 50% in
volunteers (J Clin Pharm 2002.)
Follow clinically, may need higher
doses, (levels are available)
Risperdone
In theory risperdone levels may
be higher if on ritonavir
Start lower doses and follow
clinically, look for EPS with
ritonavir/indinavir.
Quetiapine
May need higher doses with
efavarenz and nevirapine, lower
doses with PIs
Follow clinically, low doses often
used off label for sleep, anxiety,
efavarenz induced nightmares
and PTSD nightmares
Ziprasidone
Levels may be increased with PIs,
decreased with efavarenz
Start lower doses, monitor QTC
(do so with all antipsychotics)
Aripiprazole
Levels may be increased with PIs,
decreased with efavarenz
Has akathisia as common side
effect in this population
Clozapine
Haloperidol
Avoid with ritonavir due to levels
increased/decreased
Levels may be increased with PIs,
decreased with efavarenz
