Abstract
ABSTRACTPeople with HIV (PWH) receiving effective antiretroviral therapy (ART) continue to display residual immune dysregulation that amplifies the risk for neuropsychiatric comorbidities. At the same time, PWH commonly experience intersectional stigma and other psychosocial stressors that are linked to neuroendocrine stress responses, potentiate residual immune dysregulation, and alter other biobehavioral processes relevant to health outcomes. This special issue of Psychosomatic Medicine seeks to advance our understanding of the intersection of HIV with mental health in the modern ART era. Several articles cover topics related to the prevalence and treatment of psychiatric comorbidities among PWH such as depression, suicidality, and substance use disorders. Other articles delineate biobehavioral mechanisms relevant to mental health in PWH such as inflammation, immune activation, neuroendocrine signaling, cellular aging, the microbiome-gut-brain axis, and neurobehavioral processes. Collectively, the articles in this special issue highlight the continued importance of biobehavioral and neurobehavioral mental health research in the modern ART era.
