AB  - Depression and other health problems are common co-morbidities among persons 
      living with human immunodeficiency virus infection/acquired immunodeficiency 
      syndrome (HIV/AIDS). The aim of this study was to investigate depression, health 
      status, and substance use in relation to HIV-infected and uninfected individuals 
      in South Africa. Using a cross-sectional case-control design, we compared 
      depression, physical health, mental health, problem alcohol use, and tobacco use 
      in a sample of HIV-infected (N = 143) and HIV-uninfected (N = 199) respondents 
      who had known their HIV status for two months. We found that depression was 
      higher, and physical health and mental health were lower in HIV-positive than 
      HIV-negative individuals. Poor physical health also moderated the effect of HIV 
      infection on depression; HIV-positive individuals were significantly more 
      depressed than HIV-negative controls, but only when general physical health was 
      also poor. We did not find an association between alcohol or tobacco use and HIV 
      status. These results suggest the importance of incorporating the management of 
      psychological health in the treatment of HIV.
