Abstract
People living with HIV (PWH) often experience an increased vulnerability to psychiatric disorders as a result of social stigma and discrimination. This study utilized latent profile analysis on a sample of 3040 Chinese PWH to identify distinct psychological profiles. Furthermore, the study investigated the relationships between these profiles with interpersonal personalities, demographic characteristics, social variables and disease-related variables using a three-step regression (R3STEP). The findings from the latent profile analysis revealed that the psychological symptoms of PWH can be categorized into three distinct classes. Multinomial logistic regression analysis indicated that interpersonal personalities, region, sex, age, religious beliefs, marital status, occupation, monthly income, time of HIV infection diagnosis and transmission route were significant factors associated with the psychological profiles of PWH. These findings provide valuable insights for the development of individualized management strategies for PWH and contribute to a deeper understanding of the mechanisms underlying psychological symptoms of PWH.
