Abstract：Objective: To investigate the current status and influence factors of HIV-related psychological distress (HRPD) among HIV/AIDS patients who received antiretroviral therapy treatment (ART). Methods:A convenience sample of 765 PLWHA was recruited relying on HIV/AIDS prevention and control social organization in Beijing between March 2022 and June 2022, and they were surveyed online by using a general data questionnaire and HIV-related psychological distress scale. The influencing factors were analyzed by Chisquare,Fisher’s exact probability method and logistic regression. Results: A total of 765 valid subjects were included in this study, with the detection rate of HRPD being 83.27%. Logistic regression analysis showed that no fixed work (OR=5.004, 95%CI=1.867-13.410, P=0.001), receiving ART for 1-3 years (OR=2.613, 95%CI=1.354-5.044, P=0.004) and not taking medication on time (OR=31.277, 95%CI=4.143-236.092, P=0.001) were risk factors for HRPD, while marriage (OR=0.320, 95%CI=0.187-0.550, P<0.001), adhering to condom use (OR=0.267, 95%CI=0.127-0.563, P=0.001), long time for diagnosis (OR=0.115, 95%CI=0.024-0.550, P=0.007),and high monthly income (>10 000 yuan) (OR=0.265, 95%CI=0.095-0.737, P=0.011) were protective factors.Conclusion: HRPD is common among HIV/AIDS patients who received ART, which is of high prevalence. It is suggested that healthcare workers should pay attention to the HRPD evaluation and provide timely intervention for patients with risk factors so as to improve their-living quality.
