危险饮酒在艾滋病毒/艾滋病患者中很常见，并与许多负面健康后果有关。尽管危险饮酒在PLWHA中的负面影响已经得到证实，但学术工作忽视了这种饮酒在焦虑/抑郁症状和艾滋病毒症状表现方面的作用。目前的研究调查了危险饮酒与焦虑/抑郁症状和艾滋病毒症状之间的关系。调查对象包括从东北地区艾滋病服务机构招募的94人，其中男性占88.3%，男性占48.55，SD=9.15。危险饮酒与焦虑/抑郁症状和艾滋病毒症状的表达显著相关，超过了性别、种族、招募地点和CD4T细胞计数以及其他认知-情感变量(情绪失调、痛苦不耐受和焦虑敏感性)所能解释的差异。目前的结果提供了经验支持，即危险饮酒确实与抑郁和焦虑症状以及艾滋病毒症状苦恼有关，而且这种影响并不归因于与PLWHA中的酒精使用问题和情绪苦恼共同相关的其他因素。结果强调了针对过量饮酒的酒精干预的重要性，这是专门为PLWHA量身定做的，以促进更好的心理和身体健康调整。
Hazardous drinking is common among persons living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA) and associated with numerous negative health consequences. Despite the well-established negative effects of hazardous drinking among PLWHA, scholarly work has neglected to explore the role of such drinking in regard to anxiety/depressive symptoms and HIV symptom expression. The current study investigated associations between hazardous drinking and anxiety/depressive symptoms and HIV symptoms among PLWHA. Participants (n = 94; 88.3% male; M-age = 48.55; SD = 9.15) included PLWHA recruited from AIDS service organizations in the northeast. Hazardous drinking was significantly associated with anxiety/depressive symptoms and HIV symptom expression above and beyond the variance accounted for by sex, race, recruitment site, and CD4 T-Cell count, as well as other cognitive-affective variables (emotion dysregulation, distress intolerance, and anxiety sensitivity). The present results provide empirical support that hazardous drinking is indeed related to depressive and anxiety symptoms as well as HIV symptom distress and that this effect is not attributable to other factors commonly related to both alcohol use problems and emotional distress among PLWHA. Results highlight the importance of alcohol interventions for excessive drinking specifically tailored for PLWHA to facilitate better mental and physical health adjustment.
