摘要

AIM:To investigate the potential associations among major depression,quality of life,and suicidal behavior in human immunodeficiency virus(HIV)patients.METHODS:A detailed MEDLINE search was carried out to identify all articles and book chapters in English published from January 1995 to January 2015.RESULTS:Based on the main findings,the prevalence of major depressive disorder(MDD)ranged from 14.0%to 27.2%.Furthermore,the prevalence of suicidal ideation varied from 13.6%to 31.0%whereas,attempted suicides were reported to range from 3.9%to 32.7%.Interestingly,various associated risk factors for both depression and suicide were identified in HIV patients.Finally,consistent associations were reported among MDD,suicidal ideation,and poor quality of life in individuals living with HIV.CONCLUSION:Although additional studies are needed to elucidate this complex association,our results suggest the importance of early detection of both MDD and suicidality in patients living with HIV.
