Abstract: Mood disorders are highly prevalent in people living with HIV (PLWH) and represent a potential contributor to functional impairment in activities of daily living. We aimed to determine if (1) Anxiety and depression symptoms were independently associated with impairments in basic self-care, role functioning, and social functioning and (2) PLWH differentially experienced impairments due to mood symptoms compared to those without HIV. Data for this study were obtained from 150 individuals (87 PLWH, 61% male, mean age= 44) via a cross-sectional study on alcohol and HIV-associated brain dysfunction. The Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI) and the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CES-D) were used to assess anxiety and depressive symptoms. Higher anxiety symptoms were associated with role functioning impairment, while higher depressive and anxiety symptoms were each associated with social functioning impairment. As depressive symptoms increased, PLWH were 3x more likely to have impairments in role functioning compared to those without HIV. HIV status did not interact with mood symptoms to affect basic self-care or social functioning. Overall, mood symptoms are associated with different types of functional impairment, and improved management of mood symptoms could lead to improved role and social functioning.
