Résumé
People living with HIV face multiple psychosocial challenges. In a large, predominantly rural Ethiopian region, 1799 HIV patients new to care were enrolled from 32 sites in a cluster randomized trial using trained community support workers with HIV to provide individual health education, counseling and social support. Participants received annual surveys through 36 months using items drawn from the Centre for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale-10, Medical Outcome Study Social Support Survey, and HIV/AIDS Stigma Instrument-PLWA. At 12 months (using linear mixed effects regression models controlling for enrollment site clustering), intervention participants had greater emotional/informational and tangible assistance social support scores, and lower scores assessing depression symptoms and negative self-perception due to HIV status. A significant treatment effect at 36 months was also seen on scores assessing emotional/informational social support, depression symptoms, and internalized stigma. An intervention using peer community support workers with HIV to provide individualized informational and psychological support had a positive impact on the emotional health of people living with HIV who were new to care.(ClinicalTrials.gov protocol ID: 1410S54203, May 19, 2015).
