✦ Synopsis

The association between psychosocial factors (e.g., social support, coping, stress, relationship status, sexual orientation) and psychological symptoms within an HIV-positive sample population that has been underrepresented in prior research was examined in this study. The study's sample reflects many African Americans, injecting drug users, heterosexuals, and women. Structural equation modeling was used to examine the relations among psychosocial factors and psychological symptomatology. There are several notable findings from this study. First, this study's sample appeared to exhibit greater psychological symptomatology than community samples and other HIV-infected demographic groups. Second, both internal factors (i.e., coping response) and external factors (i.e., life stress) influenced psychological symptomatology. Finally, sexual preference and relationship status influenced the association between social support and psychological well-being.
