HealthDay (7/6, Mozes) reports research indicates that “many people living with HIV/AIDS still face a dramatically higher risk for suicide.” Investigators arrived at that conclusion after conducting “a review of 40 studies that involved a total of roughly 185,000 adults with HIV or AIDS” from “all over the world.” In fact, “the study team concluded that suicide risk is 100 times higher among such patients, compared with the population at large.” The findings of the systematic review and meta-analysis were published online April 9 in the journal General Psychiatry.
