Depression in HIV-infected men
Abstract
Considerable gender disparity exists in the incidence of HIV/AIDS in men, with men experiencing the largest burden of this epidemic. In addition, over six million men in the United States experience depressive disorders. HIV-infected men experience the three most common depressive disorders-major depression, dysthymia, and bipolar disorder. Comorbidity associated with the dual diagnosis of HIV infection and common depressive disorders in men is a critical men's health issue. This article's purpose is to increase health care professionals' awareness and knowledge regarding the significant impact of a dual diagnosis of HIV infection and depression on men's health.
