| Research in recent years has identified that mental disorders are both a risk for and an effect of HIV. Mental disorders, especially depression, and substance use disorders have been associated with increased HIV-related risk behavior, failure to initiate and adhere to HIV care and treatment, and increased morbidity and mortality. UNAIDS has highlighted that mental health is one area that appears to have been completely overlooked across the different key population groups affected by the AIDS epidemic, despite the fact that many mental disorders can be detected with simple screening tools and treated effectively.
In follow-up to an International Policy Dialogue held in Canada in January 2012, the satellite session will focus on the importance of integrating mental health into prevention, care, treatment and support services to reduce rates of HIV infection while also improving the quality of life of people living with HIV/AIDS. |
