- from Jules: this study reports - stigma prevails: high self-stigma, depression & poor mental health/anxiety, little support; 63% 3+ Comorbidities among age 50+ 3 times greater than 18-34 years old
see full poster report below following this additional information. As HIV+ age the affects of trauma experiences during their lifetimes, which is greater in HIV+, will affect how they age, it will result in worse overall health, cognitive, neurologic & behavior outcomes. With greater depression, disability and worsening health, & suffering from worsening self-image suicide ideation & suicide will increase.

Aging in HIV, Services & Support needed: Lifetime trauma results in depression, poor health outcomes, poor decision making Childhood Trauma and Health Outcomes in HIV-Infected Patients: An Exploration of Causal Pathways - (03/23/12)
50% Depressed / greater lifetime exposure to traumatic experiences is associated with a wide range of deleterious behavioral and health consequences in this sample of people living with HIVTraumatic life experiences such as childhood sexual and physical abuse are recognized as having profound and far-reaching implications for health and health-related behaviors. Early research on childhood trauma documented elevated rates of a range of psychological disorders in survivors of childhood sexual and physical abuse. Later studies have extended these findings, first by considering a wider range of lifetime traumatic experiences1 and second by demonstrating associations of traumatic exposure withharmful health behaviors (high-risk sexual behaviors, poor adherence to medical treatments) and increased somatization, poorer health outcomes, and higher mortality rates.2-4 These associations are particularly pronounced and consistent in medically ill populations, including people living with HIV/AIDS.5-7
