To review the current understanding of depression in the context of HIV illness.
To assess the safety and efficacy of various antidepressant treatments for HIV-infected adults.

Main Methods:

Literature review of studies over the past decade.
Analysis of depressive disorder rates in HIV-positive and at-risk HIV-negative adults.

Related Experiment Videos

Depressive disorders occur in approximately 10% of individuals with HIV, similar to the general population.
Depression is more common in those with personality issues, prior depression history, and limited social support.
Standard antidepressant therapies, psychotherapy, and ECT are safe and effective for HIV-infected adults, with careful dosing for those with severe physical illness.

Conclusions:

Effective treatments exist for depression in HIV-infected patients.
Early identification and intervention are key to improving outcomes.
Clinicians should not normalize depressive disorders as a consequence of HIV illness but should offer comprehensive treatment.
