| Abstract: | As the population of women with HIV ages, an increasing proportion are experiencing the menopause, with potential associated pain. Among 844 participants in the Positive Transitions Through the Menopause (PRIME) study (72.3% black African; median age 49 (interquartile-range 47–53) years; 20.9%, 44.0% and 35.1% pre-, peri- and post-menopausal), 376 (44.6%) and 73 (8.7%) reported moderate or extreme pain. Women had been diagnosed with HIV for 14 (9–18) years, 97.7% were receiving antiretroviral therapy and 88.4% had a suppressed viral load. In adjusted ordinal logistic regression, peri-menopausal status (adjusted odds ratio (1.80) [95% confidence interval 1.22–2.67]), current smoking (1.85 [1.11–3.09]), number of comorbid conditions (1.95 [1.64–2.33] /condition) and longer duration of HIV (1.12 [1.00–1.24]/5 years) were independently associated with increased reported pain, whereas being in full-time work (0.61 [0.45–0.83]) and having enough money for basic needs (0.47 [0.34–0.64]) were associated with decreased pain reporting. Increasing pain was independently related to insomnia symptoms (moderate: 2.76 [1.96–3.90]; extreme: 8.09 [4.03–16.24]) and severe depressive symptoms (PHQ4 ≥ 6; moderate: 3.96 [2.50–6.28]; extreme: 9.13 [4.45–18.72]). Whilst our analyses cannot determine the direction of any associations, our findings point to the importance of eliciting a history of pain and addressing symptoms in order to improve wellbeing.
