Objective:
To explore the rates of suicide ideation and the relevant factors among patients with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA) in Changsha for obtaining scientific evidence to reduce suicidal ideation rates among PLWHA. Methods: A total of 504 PLWHA were surveyed in an AIDS hospital in Changsha, by using Self-Made Socio-Demographic Scale, Self-rating Depression Scale, Self-rating Anxiety Scale, and Beck Scale for Suicide Ideation-Chinese Version. Results: There were 13.9%, 26.6% and 27.2% of PLWHA suffered suicidal ideation in the last week, at the most depressive moments and all their lives, respectively. Being a gay (OR=4.79, 2.66, 2.37) or with suicide history (OR=8.56, 5.63, 5.56) were the risk factors for suffering suicidal ideation in the last week, at the most depressive moments and all their lives. Moreover, anxiety was the risk factor for suffering suicidal ideation at the most depressive moments and all their lives (OR=3.28, 3.05), and depression was the risk factor for suffering suicidal ideation in the last week (OR=4.97). Conclusion: Among PLWHA, gay is a high risk factor for suffering suicidal ideation, and suicide history is a risk factor.
