本研究调查了加拿大安大略省1069名男性和267名女性HIV感染者抑郁症状严重程度的差异及其相关性，他们完成了20个项目的流行病学研究抑郁量表(CES-D)。女性的CES-D得分高于男性(中位数[四分位数范围]：13[5-26]比9[3-20]，P=.0004)。更多的女性有CES-D总分>；15(轻中度抑郁；44%比33%，P=.002)和>；21(重度抑郁；31%比23%，P=.003)。与男性不同，在40岁时，女性的得分每年都会增加(每年增加0.4分，P=0.005)。得分分布因性别而异：抑郁得分第10百分位数无差异，0(95%可信区间：1.0~1.0)，但女性抑郁得分第75百分位数比男性高6分(95%可信区间：2.0~10.0)。艾滋病毒携带者在抑郁症状和症状相关性方面存在重要的性别差异。
This study investigates the differences in severity and correlates of depression symptoms among 1069 men and 267 women living with HIV in Ontario, Canada, who completed the 20-item Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CES-D). Women had higher CES-D scores than that of men (median [interquartile range]: 13 [5-26] versus 9 [3-20], P=.0004). More women had total CES-D scores>15 (mild-moderate depression; 44% versus 33%, P=.002) and >21 (severe depression; 31% versus 23%, P=.003). Unlike men, at age 40, women's scores increased yearly (0.4 per increased year, P=.005). The distribution of scores differed by gender: There was no difference in the 10th percentile of depression scores, 0 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.0-1.0) but the 75th percentile of depression scores for women was 6 (95% CI: 2.0-10.0) points higher than that of men. Important gender differences exist in depression symptoms and in correlates of symptoms in people living with HIV.
