Poor sleep quality and its associated factors among HIV/ADIS patients living in sub-Saharan African countries: a systematic review and meta-analysis. Sci Rep 2024; 14:16955. [PMID: 39043922 PMCID: PMC11266486 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-024-68074-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/02/2024] [Accepted: 07/19/2024] [Indexed: 07/25/2024] Open
Abstract
Good-quality sleep is defined by its ability to minimize disturbances, provide adequate duration, and maintain a balanced progression through sleep stages. Sleep disturbance is a common complaint in people living with HIV/AIDS. Despite the influence of sleep disturbance on treatment adherence, quality of life, work productivity, risk of chronic illness. Studies have reported sleep disturbances among HIV/AIDS patients in sub-Saharan African countries (SSA), yielding varied results at the country level. Therefore, conducting a systematic review and meta-analysis is essential. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the prevalence of poor sleep quality and identify associated factors among HIV/AIDS patients in sub-Saharan African countries. We systematically searched across various databases, including PubMed, African Journals Online, Scopus, Cochrane Library, HINARI, and Science Direct. Additionally, we conducted searches using Google and Google Scholar search engines. Microsoft Excel was used for data extraction, and the data were analysed using STAT version 17.0. We assessed heterogeneity using Cochran's Q test and I2 test and checked for small study effects using funnel plot symmetry and Egger's test. Pooled prevalence and associated factors were estimated using a random-effects model at a 95% confidence interval (CI) and significance level of p < 0.05. To identify factors associated with poor sleep quality among individuals living with HIV/AIDS, odds ratios (ORs) and their corresponding 95% CI were calculated. This analysis combined data from 15 separate studies involving a total sample size of 5176 participants. The pooled prevalence of poor sleep quality among HIV/AIDS patients in SSA countries was 49.32% (95% CI 41.32-56.8%). Factors significantly associated with poor sleep quality included depression (OR 2.78; 95% CI 1.21-6.40) and CD4 count < 200 cells/mm3 (AOR 3.15; 95% CI 2.41-4.15). In this study the prevalence of poor sleep quality among HIV/AIDS patients in SSA was higher and differs across the countries, ranging from 21.7 to 73.7%. The findings underscore the urgent necessity for programs aimed at improving sleep quality, particularly in addressing factors such as participant income and depression that are linked to poor sleep quality in HIV/AIDS patients.Systematic review registration: PROSPERO CRD42024517229.

Abstract
Background In this study, we investigated sleep quality, depression and stress symptoms as hypothesized factors affecting the association between HIV status and nocturnal blood pressure dipping status in rural Uganda. Methods Individuals living with HIV (PLHIV) and people without HIV (PwoHIV) underwent 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) and classified as extreme dippers, dippers and non-dippers based on a percentage nocturnal drop in mean systolic and diastolic blood pressure. Ordinal logistic regression models were used to assess the effect of different exposure variables (HIV status, sleep quality and other covariates) on the outcome (dipping status). Results The median age was 45 years (IQR: 35-54) and 80% of the participants were female. 24% of PwoHIV and 16% of PLHIV were overweight, 10% of HIV negative and 3% of the HIV positive individuals were obese. Depression was prevalent in both PLHIV and PwoHIV. Additionally, poor sleep quality was more prevalent in PLHIV compared to PwoHIV (70% versus 58%, P= 0.046). The study found that 53% of participants had normal dipping, while 35.1% were non-dippers, with non-dipping being more prevalent in PwoHIV individuals (34.9% vs 29.7%, P<0.001). PLHIV had 3.6 times the odds of being extreme dippers compared to PwoHIV (OR 3.64, 95% CI: 1.40 - 9.44). Conclusion This study identified high proportions of non-dipping BP profiles among both PLHIV and PwoHIV. However, the odds of being extreme dippers were higher among PLHIV compared to PwoHIV. Further research is needed to understand the underlying mechanisms contributing to extreme dipping patterns in PLHIV.

Abstract
This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to investigate the prevalence of self-reported sleep disturbances in people living with HIV considering the effects of age, depression, anxiety, CD4 cell counts, time since HIV diagnosis, study region, and the instruments used to measure sleep disturbances. We searched PubMed, PsycINFO, and EMBASE to include eligible articles. In this meta-analysis of 43 studies, the pooled prevalence of self-reported sleep disturbances was 52.29% (95% confidence interval 47.69-56.87). The subgroup analyses revealed that variations in the sleep measurements and study region significantly contributed to the observed heterogeneity. In the meta-regression analyses, higher proportions of participants with depression or anxiety and longer times since HIV diagnosis were significantly associated with a higher prevalence of self-reported sleep disturbances after adjusting for mean age. Our findings emphasise the substantial burden of sleep disturbances in people living with HIV and identified comorbid depression and anxiety and the time since HIV diagnosis as significant moderators. These results underscore the importance of considering these factors when designing tailored screening programmes for high-risk patients and implementing early interventions to prevent and mitigate sleep disturbances in people living with HIV.

Abstract
Study Objectives Although poor sleep quality is associated with lower CD4+ T cell counts among people living with HIV (PLWH), the association between objective sleep metrics and T lymphocyte subset counts is unknown. We evaluated the association between polysomnography (PSG) derived sleep metrics and T lymphocyte subpopulations in a cohort of men living with HIV. Methods Virally suppressed men living with HIV participating in the Multicenter AIDS Cohort Study underwent home overnight PSG. We assessed the association of PSG parameters with CD4+ and CD8+ T cell counts and the CD4+/CD8+ T cell ratio. Results Overall, 289 men with mean (±SD) age 55.3 ± 11.3 years and mean CD4+ T cell count 730 ± 308 cells/mm3 were evaluated. Total sleep time (TST) was significantly associated with CD8+ but not CD4+ T cell counts. After adjusting for age, race, depressive symptoms, antidepressant use, and non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors use, every hour of shorter TST was associated with an additional 33 circulating CD8+ T cells/mm3 (p = 0.05) and a 5.6% (p = 0.0007) decline in CD4+/CD8+ T cell ratio. In adjusted models, every hour of shorter rapid eye movement (REM) sleep was associated with an additional 113 CD8+ T cells/mm3 (p = 0.02) and a 15.1% lower CD4+/CD8+ T cell ratio (p = 0.006). In contrast, measures of sleep efficiency and sleep-disordered breathing were not associated with differences in T lymphocyte subpopulations. Conclusions Our findings suggest that shorter TST and REM sleep durations are associated with differences in T lymphocyte subpopulations among men living with HIV. Addressing sleep may reflect a novel opportunity to improve immune function in PLWH.

Abstract
The HIV care landscape has significantly altered over the past 30 years with advances in HIV medical treatment. Despite these medical advances, people living with HIV experience a significant number of issues that affect their health-related quality of life, including sleep. Although poor sleep quality is common, there remains a lack of understanding of how to identify sleep issues in order to improve outcomes for people living with HIV. A scoping review of three databases as well as the grey literature yielded 2932 articles, of which 60 met the inclusion criteria. The following themes were identified: range of methods used to assess sleep, self-reported sleep measures and objective measures of sleep. The review found that a number of different measures of sleep were used within the research, the most commonly used being the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index. Due to the variety of approaches being used to measure sleep (n=18) there was a lack of consistency in what aspects of sleep were being explored, and in many cases why the measure of sleep was chosen. Furthermore, there was a lack of meaningful clinical recommendations as to how these findings could be used to improve outcomes for people living with HIV.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW The purpose of this narrative review is to consolidate and summarize the existing literature on sleep deficiency among people living with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV; PLWH), to discuss the potential impact of antiretroviral therapy on sleep deficiency and to identify priorities for future research in this area. RECENT FINDINGS Three important domains of sleep deficiency include alterations in sleep quality (including sleep disorders), duration and timing. The existing HIV and sleep deficiency literature, which is robust for sleep quality but sparser for sleep duration or sleep timing, has identified epidemiological correlates and outcomes associated with sleep deficiency including sociodemographic factors, HIV-specific factors, aspects of physical and mental health and cognition. SUMMARY Sleep deficiency is a common problem among PLWH and is likely underdiagnosed, although more high-quality research is needed in this area. Sleep quality has received the most attention in the literature via methodologies that assess subjective/self-reported sleep quality, objective sleep quality or both. There is significantly less research on sleep duration and minimal research on sleep timing. Use of certain antiretroviral therapy drugs may be associated with sleep deficiency for some individuals. Future research should utilize larger, longitudinal studies with consistent, comprehensive and validated methods to assess both subjective and objective measures of sleep deficiency to better understand the prevalence, correlates and clinical implications of sleep deficiency in PLWH.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Psychological discomfort and sleep problems are considered separate disorders. Due to the high prevalence of both disorders among people living with HIV (PLWH), this study was designed to evaluate how those challenges are present among PLWH. METHOD A cross-sectional study was conducted using data from a national survey of 1185 confirmed PLWH from 15 provinces in Iran from April to August 2019. Psychological discomfort and sleep quality were assessed using standardized versions of related Persian questionnaires. Logistic regression was used to assess the association between psychological discomfort and sleep quality in PLWH. RESULTS The overall prevalence of poor sleep quality, depression, anxiety, and stress was 47.71%, 50.95%, 44.26%, and 41.77%, respectively. The results of multivariate-adjusted logistic regression showed that each psychological discomfort covariate increased the odds of poor sleep quality. Depression by adjusting for anxiety and stress, anxiety by adjusting for depression and stress, and stress by adjusting for depression and anxiety all increased the odds of poor sleep quality. CONCLUSION A high prevalence of psychological discomfort was observed in PLWH. Depression, anxiety, and stress were strongly associated with sleep quality. PLWH needed more attention and social support in order to reduce sleep and psychological issues.

Abstract
People living with HIV are affected by the chronic consequences of neurocognitive impairment (NCI) despite antiretroviral therapies that suppress viral replication, improve health and extend life. Furthermore, viral suppression does not eliminate the virus, and remaining infected cells may continue to produce viral proteins that trigger neurodegeneration. Comorbidities such as diabetes mellitus are likely to contribute substantially to CNS injury in people living with HIV, and some components of antiretroviral therapy exert undesirable side effects on the nervous system. No treatment for HIV-associated NCI has been approved by the European Medicines Agency or the US Food and Drug Administration. Historically, roadblocks to developing effective treatments have included a limited understanding of the pathophysiology of HIV-associated NCI and heterogeneity in its clinical manifestations. This heterogeneity might reflect multiple underlying causes that differ among individuals, rather than a single unifying neuropathogenesis. Despite these complexities, accelerating discoveries in HIV neuropathogenesis are yielding potentially druggable targets, including excessive immune activation, metabolic alterations culminating in mitochondrial dysfunction, dysregulation of metal ion homeostasis and lysosomal function, and microbiome alterations. In addition to drug treatments, we also highlight the importance of non-pharmacological interventions. By revisiting mechanisms implicated in NCI and potential interventions addressing these mechanisms, we hope to supply reasons for optimism in people living with HIV affected by NCI and their care providers.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Despite significant improvements in longevity and quality of life associated with antiretroviral therapy, individuals with HIV still suffer from a higher burden of sleep and circadian disruption and inflammatory-based diseases than individuals without HIV. While melatonin is a hormone that has a role in sleep and circadian regulation and has anti-inflammatory properties, the overnight concentration of the urinary melatonin metabolite has not yet been reported in people with HIV. METHODS The aim of this study was to compare the overnight urinary melatonin metabolite levels in women aged 35-70 years with HIV (n = 151) to a well-matched comparison group of women without HIV (n = 147). All women wore a wrist actigraphy monitor and completed daily diaries documenting sleep timing and use of medications and drugs or alcohol for 10 days. Participants collected their overnight urine near the end of the monitoring period. RESULTS Melatonin levels did not differ between women with or without HIV, but more than 40% of women had low levels of melatonin. Higher body mass index predicted lower levels of melatonin, and lower levels of melatonin were associated with lower sleep efficiency as assessed with wrist actigraphy. CONCLUSION These data lay the foundation for exploration of the longitudinal consequences of endogenous melatonin levels for inflammatory-based diseases in aging women with and without HIV. Future studies should consider the use of supplemental melatonin to improve sleep in women with lower levels of melatonin.

Abstract
Poor sleep can undermine health and may be especially disruptive to those with chronic conditions including HIV infection. Here, clinically well-described people living with HIV [PLWH] (74 men, 35 women) and healthy control (38 men, 35 women) participants were administered the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), a validated measure of subjective sleep with a global score ≥5 able to distinguish good from poor sleepers. In addition, participants completed a battery of neuropsychological tests. PLWH (6.8 ± 3.7) had higher global PSQI scores than healthy controls (4.1 ± 2.8): 39.7 % of uninfected controls and 68.8 % of PLWH had a PSQI≥5 indicative of poor sleep. There were no relations between the global PSQI score and any evaluated variables among uninfected individuals or with demographic or HIV-related variables in PLWH. Instead, a higher global PSQI score among PLWH was associated with worse "Quality of Life" scores [Global Assessment of Functioning (GAF, p=0.0007), Medical Outcomes Study survey (21-item short form, SF-21, p<0.0001), and Activities of Daily Living-Instrumental (ADL-I, p=0.0041)] and higher Beck Depression Index (BDI, p<0.0001) depressive symptoms. Further, in PLWH, higher global PSQI scores were associated with poor performance on a working memory task, the digit backward span (p=0.0036). In PLWH, the 5 variables together explained 32.3 % of the global PSQI score variance; only 3 variables - the SF-21, BDI, and digit backward scores - explained 30.6 % of the variance. To the extent that poor subjective sleep contributes to impaired working memory in HIV, we speculate that this impairment may be ameliorated by improved sleep health.

Abstract
Background People living with HIV frequently report sleep disturbances. The social zeitgeber theory, which proposes that stressful life events can interfere with sleep and even depression by destabilizing daily routines, provides new insights into identifying predictors of sleep disturbances and improving sleep in people living with HIV. Objective To explain the pathways affecting sleep quality in people living with HIV based on social zeitgeber theory. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted to assess sleep quality, social rhythms, depression, social support, and coping styles from December 2020 to February 2021. The hypothetical model was tested and respecified by performing path analysis and a bias-corrected bootstrapping method using IBM AMOS 24 software. The report of this study followed the STROBE checklist. Results A total of 737 people living with HIV participated in the study. The final model presented a good fit (goodness of fit = 0.999, adjusted goodness of fit index = 0.984, normed fit index = 0.996, comparative fit index = 0.998, Tucker-Lewis index = 0.988, root mean square error of approximation = 0.030, chi-squared/degree of freedom = 1.646), explaining 32.3% of the variance in sleep quality among people living with HIV. Lower social rhythm stability was directly associated with poorer sleep quality, and depression mediated the relationship between social rhythms and sleep quality. Social support and coping styles affected sleep quality through social rhythms and depression. Limitation The cross-sectional study design precludes making assumptions about causality among factors. Conclusion This study validates and extends the applicability of the social zeitgeber theory in the HIV context. Social rhythms have direct and indirect effects on sleep. Social rhythms, sleep, and depression is not simply linked in a cascading sequence but is theoretically linked in a complex way. More studies are needed to explore the predictors of social rhythms, and interventions for stabilizing social rhythms have the potential to alleviate sleep disturbances and depression in people living with HIV.

Abstract
People with HIV on combination antiretroviral therapy (ART) have longer life expectancy and are increasingly experiencing age-related comorbidities. Thus, aging with HIV has become a central issue in clinical care and research, which has been particularly challenging with the intersection of the ongoing coronavirus (COVID)-19 pandemic. Since 2009, the International Workshop on HIV and Aging has served as a multidisciplinary platform to share research findings from cross-disciplinary fields along with community advocates to address critical issues in HIV and aging. In this article, we summarize the key oral presentations from the 12th Annual International Workshop on HIV and Aging, held virtually on September 23rd and 24th, 2021. The topics ranged from basic science research on biological mechanisms of aging to quality of life and delivery of care under the COVID-19 pandemic. This workshop enriched our understanding of HIV and aging under the COVID-19 pandemic, identified challenges and opportunities to combat the impact of COVID-19 on HIV communities, and also provided updated research and future directions of the field to move HIV and aging research forward, with the ultimate goal of successful aging for older people with HIV.

Abstract
Objective to assess the prevalence and associated factors of poor sleep quality in adults with Human Immuno Virus Syndrome who attended an Anti-Retro-Viral Treatment clinic at Finote Selam General Hospital in Amhara, Ethiopia, in 2021. Methods A Hospital based cross sectional study was conducted from October 15 to November 2020 and systematic random sampling technique was used to select sample size of 399 study subjects. Sleep Quality was assessed using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). The data was entered to Epi data version 4.2 and analysis was done with SPSS version 25.0 software. Binary logistic regression technique was employed and variables with p-value less than 0.25 in the Bi-variable analysis were entered to the multivariable analysis. Odds ratio with 95% Confidence Interval was calculated and statistical significance was declared at P-values < 0.05. Results The prevalence of poor quality of sleep among PLWHA was 55.1% [95% CI: 50.1–60.2] 0.12 months duration of HIV diagnosis [AOR = 4.02,95% CI: (1.604, 10.070)], CD4 count<200 cells/mm3 [AOR = 2.76,95% CI: (1.189,6.408)]. Viral load >1000 copies [AOR = 3.41, 95% CI: (1.384, 8.417)]and having depression [AOR = 2.06, 95% CI: (1.056, 4.019)] were factors significantly associated with poor sleep quality. Conclusion In this study, it was discovered that above 50% of people living with HIV/AIDS had poor sleep quality. It is critical to reduce prevalence by developing prevention and intervention strategies that address the identified factors. A cross-sectional study that looked at sleep quality in people with HIV/AIDS. Above fifty percent of HIV/AIDS patients had poor sleep quality. Poor sleep quality was linked to a lower CD4 count, an increased viral load. The more depressed the patient was, the worse his or her sleep quality was.

Abstract
STUDY OBJECTIVES We investigated associations between inflammatory profiles/clusters and sleep measures in people living with HIV and demographically-/lifestyle-similar HIV-negative controls in the Pharmacokinetic and clinical Observations in PeoPle over fiftY (POPPY)-Sleep substudy. METHODS Primary outcome was insomnia (Insomnia Severity Index [ISI]>15). Secondary sleep outcomes included 7-day actigraphy (e.g. mean/standard deviation of sleep duration/efficiency), overnight oximetry (e.g. oxygen desaturation index [ODI]) and patient-reported measures (Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) sleep questionnaires). Participants were grouped using Principal Component Analysis of 31 biomarkers across several inflammatory pathways followed by cluster analysis. Between-cluster differences in baseline characteristics and sleep outcomes were assessed using Kruskal-Wallis/logistic regression/Chi-squared/Fisher's exact tests. RESULTS Of the 465 participants included (74% people with HIV, median [interquartile range] age 54 [50-60] years), only 18% had insomnia and secondary sleep outcomes suggested generally good sleep (e.g. ODI 3.1/hr [1.5-6.4]). Three clusters with distinct inflammatory profiles were identified: "gut/immune activation" (n = 47), "neurovascular" (n = 209), and "reference" (relatively lower inflammation; n = 209). The "neurovascular" cluster included higher proportions of people with HIV, obesity (BMI>30 kg/m2), and previous cardiovascular disease, mental health disorder, and arthritis of knee/hip relative to the other two clusters. No clinically relevant between-cluster differences were observed in proportions with insomnia (17%, 18%, 20%) before (p = .76) or after (p = .75) adjustment for potential confounders. Few associations were observed among actigraphy, oximetry, and PROMIS measures. CONCLUSIONS Although associations could exist with other sleep measures or biomarker types not assessed, our findings do not support a strong association between sleep and inflammation in people with HIV.

Abstract
Combined antiretroviral therapy ushered an era of survivable HIV infection in which people living with HIV (PLH) conduct normal life activities and enjoy measurably extended lifespans. However, despite viral control, PLH often experience a variety of cognitive, emotional, and physical phenotypes that diminish their quality of life, including cognitive impairment, depression, and sleep disruption. Recently, accumulating evidence has linked persistent CNS immune activation to the overproduction of glutamate and upregulation of glutaminase (GLS) activity, particularly in microglial cells, driving glutamatergic imbalance with neurological consequences. Our lab has developed a brain-penetrant prodrug of the glutamine antagonist 6-diazo-5-oxo-L-norleucine (DON), JHU083, that potently inhibits brain GLS activity in mice following oral administration. To assess the therapeutic potential of JHU083, we infected mice with EcoHIV and characterized their neurobehavioral phenotypes. EcoHIV-infected mice exhibited decreased social interaction, suppressed sucrose preference, disrupted sleep during the early rest period, and increased sleep fragmentation, similar to what has been reported in PLH but not yet observed in murine models. At doses shown to inhibit microglial GLS, JHU083 treatment ameliorated all of the abnormal neurobehavioral phenotypes. To explore potential mechanisms underlying this effect, hippocampal microglia were isolated for RNA sequencing. The dysregulated genes and pathways in EcoHIV-infected hippocampal microglia pointed to disruptions in immune functions of these cells, which were partially restored by JHU083 treatment. These findings suggest that upregulation of microglial GLS may affect immune functions of these cells. Thus, brain-penetrable GLS inhibitors like JHU083 could act as a potential therapeutic modality for both glutamate excitotoxicity and aberrant immune activation in microglia in chronic HIV infection.

Objective and subjective sleep measures are associated with neurocognition in aging adults with and without HIV. Clin Neuropsychol 2022; 36:1352-1371. [PMID: 32993422 PMCID: PMC8007669 DOI: 10.1080/13854046.2020.1824280] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/26/2020] [Revised: 09/10/2020] [Accepted: 09/12/2020] [Indexed: 02/01/2023]
Abstract
Objective: Poor sleep quality is related to worse neurocognition in older adults and in people with HIV (PWH); however, many previous studies have relied only on self-report sleep questionnaires, which are inconsistently correlated with objective sleep measures. We examined relationships between objective and subjective sleep quality and neurocognition in persons with and without HIV, aged 50 and older. Method: Eighty-five adults (PWH n = 52, HIV-negative n = 32) completed comprehensive neuropsychological testing to assess global and domain-specific neurocognition. Objective sleep quality was assessed with wrist actigraphy (total sleep time, efficiency, sleep fragmentation) for five to 14 nights. Subjective sleep quality was assessed with the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index. Results: Objective and subjective sleep measures were unrelated (p's > 0.30). Compared to HIV-negative participants, PWH had greater sleep efficiency (80% vs. 75%, p = 0.05) and were more likely to be using prescription and/or over the counter sleep medication (p = 0.04). In the whole sample, better sleep efficiency (p < 0.01) and greater total sleep time (p = 0.05) were associated with better learning. Less sleep fragmentation was associated with better learning (p < 0.01) and recall (p = 0.04). While PWH had slightly stronger relationships between total sleep time and sleep fragmentation, it is not clear if these differences are clinically meaningful. Better subjective sleep quality was associated with better executive function (p < 0.01) and working memory (p = 0.05); this relationship was primarily driven by the HIV-negative group. Conclusions: Objective sleep quality was associated with learning and recall whereas subjective sleep quality was associated with executive function and working memory. Therefore, assessing objective and subjective sleep quality could be clinically useful, as they are both related to important domains of cognition frequently impacted in HIV-associated neurocognitive disorders as well as neurodegenerative disorders associated with aging. Future studies should evaluate if behavioral sleep interventions can improve neurocognition.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sleep disturbances are prevalent in women living with HIV (WLWH) and can affect mental health and overall quality of life. We examined the prevalence and predictors of poor sleep quality in a US cohort of WLWH and HIV-uninfected controls and the relationship between sleep quality and mental health symptom burden stratified by HIV disease status (viremic WLWH, aviremic WLWH, and HIV-uninfected women). METHODS Sleep quality was assessed using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index in 1583 (400 viremic WLWH, 723 aviremic WLWH, and 460 HIV-uninfected women) Women's Interagency HIV Study participants. Depressive and anxiety symptoms were concurrently assessed using the Center for Epidemiological Studies-Depression (CES-D) scale and General Anxiety Disorder (GAD-7) scale. Associations between poor sleep quality (global Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index >5) and both high depressive (CES-D ≥16) and anxiety (GAD-7 ≥10) symptoms were each assessed by HIV disease status using multivariable logistic regression models. RESULTS Prevalence of poor sleep quality in the overall sample was 52%, differed by HIV disease status (P = 0.045), and was significantly associated with high depressive and anxiety symptoms in (1) viremic WLWH, (2) aviremic WLWH, and (3) HIV-uninfected women [CES-D: (1) adjusted odds ratio (aOR) = 7.50, 95% confidence interval (CI): 4.10 to 13.7; (2) aOR = 4.54, 95% CI: 3.07 to 6.73; and (3) aOR = 6.03, 95% CI: 3.50 to 10.4; GAD-7: (1) aOR = 5.20; 95% CI: 2.60 to 10.4, (2) aOR = 6.03; 95% CI: 3.67 to 9.91, and (3) aOR = 6.24; 95% CI: 3.11 to 12.6]. CONCLUSIONS Poor sleep quality is highly prevalent, as is mental health symptom burden, among WLWH and HIV-uninfected controls. Future longitudinal studies are necessary to clarify the directionality of the relationship.

Abstract
ABSTRACT The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of sleep disorders and associated factors in people living with HIV (PLWH). This was a cross-sectional study with a sample of 385 participants followed-up on an outpatient basis in Fortaleza, Ceará, Brazil. Interviews were conducted using the Sociodemographic, Epidemiological and Clinical Form for PLWH and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index. Descriptive statistics and univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis were performed, and the odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (95% CI) were calculated, considering p < .05 as statistically significant. The prevalence of sleep disorders was 43.38%. Having children (p = .0054; OR = 1.91; 95% CI = 1.21-3.01), less than 8 years of education (p = .0013; OR = 2.11; 95% CI = 1.34-3.34), and not engaging in regular physical exercise (p = .0001; OR = 2.61; 95% CI = 1.61-4.23) were factors associated with the occurrence of sleep disorders. It was concluded that almost half of the sample had sleep disorders, especially those with children, low level education, and sedentary habits. These data point to the need for increased guidance on sleep hygiene, in addition to the practice of regular physical exercise for this population.

Abstract
Neurological disorders related to neuroinfections are highly prevalent in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), constituting a major cause of disability and economic burden for patients and society. These include epilepsy, dementia, motor neuron diseases, headache disorders, sleep disorders, and peripheral neuropathy. The highest prevalence of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is in SSA. Consequently, there is a high prevalence of neurological disorders associated with HIV infection such as HIV-associated neurocognitive disorders, motor disorders, chronic headaches, and peripheral neuropathy in the region. The pathogenesis of these neurological disorders involves the direct role of the virus, some antiretroviral treatments, and the dysregulated immune system. Furthermore, the high prevalence of epilepsy in SSA (mainly due to perinatal causes) is exacerbated by infections such as toxoplasmosis, neurocysticercosis, onchocerciasis, malaria, bacterial meningitis, tuberculosis, and the immune reactions they elicit. Sleep disorders are another common problem in the region and have been associated with infectious diseases such as human African trypanosomiasis and HIV and involve the activation of the immune system. While most headache disorders are due to benign primary headaches, some secondary headaches are caused by infections (meningitis, encephalitis, brain abscess). HIV and neurosyphilis, both common in SSA, can trigger long-standing immune activation in the central nervous system (CNS) potentially resulting in dementia. Despite the progress achieved in preventing diseases from the poliovirus and retroviruses, these microbes may cause motor neuron diseases in SSA. The immune mechanisms involved in these neurological disorders include increased cytokine levels, immune cells infiltration into the CNS, and autoantibodies. This review focuses on the major neurological disorders relevant to Africa and neuroinfections highly prevalent in SSA, describes the interplay between neuroinfections, immune system, neuroinflammation, and neurological disorders, and how understanding this can be exploited for the development of novel diagnostics and therapeutics for improved patient care.

Abstract
Despite improved antiretroviral treatments, people living with HIV (PLWH) continue to suffer from HIV-related fatigue and sleep disturbances. We first reviewed the definition, etiology, and research breakthroughs of HIV-related fatigue and sleep disturbances, then analyzed nurse-led symptom management studies to describe their efficacy and make recommendations for future symptom research. We searched PubMed, CINAHL, PsycInfo, Psych and Behavioral Sciences Collection, and Scopus to identify nurse-led studies on symptom management for PLWH in the past 20 years. A total of 13 experimental or quasi-experimental studies were identified. The types of interventions included exercise, cognitive behavioral therapy, coaching, and symptom management manualized self-care activities. Currently, we cannot recommend with certainty any of the tested symptom management strategies to reduce fatigue or sleep disturbances. The current findings need to be confirmed and expanded to understand optimal dosing and sustainability.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES There are limited studies on the psychological issues and sleep problems among the Iranian people living with HIV (HIV). In this study, we aimed to assess sleep disorders, psychiatric characteristics, and employment status among Iranian PLWH. RESULTS In total, 304 PLWH with a mean age of 40.01 (SD = 9.60) years participated in the study. About 72% of the participants had a global PSQI score of more than 5, with a mean score of 7.71 (SD = 3.31). About 55.6%, 50%, and 67.4% of subjects had abnormal scores for depression, anxiety, and stress. Unemployed participants had 2.13 times more chance (95% CI 1.01-4.53) of having poor sleep quality compared to employed patients, and stress increased its likelihood by 3.18 times (95% CI 1.47-5.88).

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to identify sleep disturbance subtypes ("phenotypes") among Latinx adults based on objective sleep data using a flexible unsupervised machine learning technique. METHODS This study was an analysis of sleep data from three cross-sectional studies of the Precision in Symptom Self-Management Center at Columbia University. All studies focused on sleep health in Latinx adults at increased risk for sleep disturbance. Data on total sleep time (TST), time in bed (TIB), wake after sleep onset (WASO), sleep efficiency (SE), number of awakenings (NOA) and the mean length of nightly awakenings were collected using wrist-mounted accelerometers. Cluster analysis of the sleep data was conducted using an unsupervised machine learning approach that relies on mixtures of multivariate generalized linear mixed models. RESULTS The analytic sample included 494 days of data from 118 adults (Ages 19-77). A 3-cluster model provided the best fit based on deviance indices (ie, DΔ∼ -75 and -17 from 1- and 2- to 3-cluster models, respectively) and likelihood ratio (Pdiff ∼ 0.93). Phenotype 1 (n = 64) was associated with greater likelihood of overall adequate SE and less variability in SE and WASO. Phenotype 2 (n = 11) was characterized by higher NOAs, and greater WASO and TIB than the other phenotypes. Phenotype 3 (n = 43) was characterized by greater variability in SE, bed times and awakening times. CONCLUSION Robust digital data-driven modeling approaches can be useful for detecting sleep phenotypes from heterogenous patient populations, and have implications for designing precision sleep health strategies for management and early detection of sleep problems.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to evaluate the agreement between self-reported sleep measures and insomnia with objectively measured sleep parameters in people with HIV (PWH) and HIV-negative individuals. DESIGN A cross-sectional analysis of PWH and lifestyle-similar HIV-negative individuals. METHODS Self-reported measures included time spent in bed, sleep onset latency and a validated insomnia questionnaire. Objective measures were assessed via 7-days/nights of actigraphy data to determine average and intra-individual variability of several sleep measures (including time spent in bed and onset latency). Spearman's correlation coefficient and Cohen's κ were used to assess the agreement between self-reported and actigraphy-assessed measures. Associations between insomnia and actigraphy-assessed sleep parameters were evaluated using partial least-square discriminant analysis (PLS-DA). RESULTS We found fair correlation between self-reported and actigraphy-assessed time spent in bed in 342 PWH (rs = 0.46) and 119 HIV-negative individuals (rs = 0.48). Among PWH, the correlation did not differ by age, education, depressive symptoms and self-reported insomnia (all P > 0.05), but was stronger in men (P = 0.05) and in those with a BMI of at least 25 kg/m2 (P < 0.001). Agreement between self-reported and actigraphy-assessed sleep onset latency was poor in both PWH (κ = 0.002, P = 0.49) and HIV-negative individuals (κ = 0.009, P = 0.65). According to PLS-DA, self-reported insomnia most strongly correlated with intra-individual variability of sleep duration, movement index and efficiency. CONCLUSION We report poor-to-fair agreement between self-reported and actigraphy-assessed sleep measures in PWH. Insomnia symptoms correlated with regularity of sleep duration, quality and efficiency. These findings highlight the importance of both patient-reported and objective measures of daily sleep variation, for better understanding sleep disorders in PWH.

Abstract
How to activate adaptive coping strategies has an important and practical meaning for the quality of life of people living with HIV (PLHIV); however, few studies have focused on the effects of sleep disturbances and HIV-related physical symptoms on coping strategies. The specific relationships among coping strategies, sleep disturbances and HIV-related physical symptoms were unknown. We performed a path analysis to examine the proposed model of relationships among sleep disturbances, physical symptoms, and coping strategies. A convenience sample of 69 HIV-positive Asian Americans in San Francisco, Los Angeles, and New York City were recruited and data were collected on demographics, sleep disturbances, HIV-related physical symptoms, and coping strategies. Sleep disturbances directly affect maladaptive coping (β = 0.34), and physical symptoms directly affect adaptive coping (β = 0.30) and maladaptive coping (β = 0.24). Interventions designed to decrease sleep disturbances and physical symptoms should be developed to enhance adaptive coping and reduce maladaptive coping among Asian Americans with HIV.

Abstract
Background: Persons living with HIV (PLWH) frequently report sleep complaints, but objective measurements are still lacking regarding sleep continuity, total sleep time per 24 h, and the links with both prospective memory performance and HIV infection parameters. Methods: PLWH (n = 96) and control (n = 96) groups (balanced for gender and age) were monitored by 24h-actigraphy for at least seven consecutive days. The prospective memory performance was assessed through a naturalistic, activity-based task performed twice a day on the actigraph. Results: PLWH had greater sleep latency and worse sleep continuity (higher fragmentation index) for night-time sleep and longest daytime nap (mean duration of the longest nap). Comparable results were reported for the prospective memory task; better performance scores were associated with several sleep parameters in controls but not in PLWH. Finally, within the PLWH group, being a long sleeper per 24 h (total sleep time > 8 h including more and long daytime naps) was associated with a greater severity of the disease (lower CD4 nadir and more frequent history of AIDS-defining events). Conclusions: These findings indicate that PLWH have more fragmented sleep and that the severity of HIV infection is associated with increased sleep duration.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To examine resting-state functional MRI (rs-fMRI) networks related to sleep in the context of HIV infection. METHODS rs-fMRI data were collected in 40 HIV-infected (HIV+) individuals at baseline (treatment-naive), 12 week (post-treatment) and one year timepoints. A group of 50 age-matched HIV-negative (HIV-) individuals were also imaged at baseline and one year timepoints. The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) questionnaire was administered at all timepoints. Using group independent component analysis (ICA), maps of functional networks were generated from fMRI data; from these, sleep-related networks were selected. A generalized linear model (GLM) was used to analyze if these networks were significantly associated with the PSQI score, and if this relationship was influenced by HIV status/treatment or timepoint. RESULTS HIV+ individuals had significantly lower PSQI score after treatment (p=0.022). Networks extracted from group ICA analysis included the anterior and posterior default mode network (DMN), central executive network (CEN), bilateral frontoparietal networks (FPNs), and the anterior cingulate cortex salience network (ACC SN). We found the posterior DMN, right FPN, and ACC SN GLMs showed significantly higher goodness-of-fit after incorporating PSQI data (p = 0.0204, 0.044, 0.044, respectively). Furthermore, the correlation between ACC SN and posterior DMN connectivity was significantly decreased in the HIV+ cohort. CONCLUSION Functional networks such as the DMN, FPN, CEN, and ACC SN are altered in poor sleep, as measured by the PSQI score. Furthermore, the relationship between these networks and PSQI is different in the HIV+ and HIV- populations.

Abstract
Background: Mental disorder of people living with HIV (PLWH) has become a common and increasing worldwide public health concern. We aimed to explore the relationship between anxiety, depression, and sleep disturbance for PLWH from a network perspective. Methods: The network model featured 28 symptoms on the Hospital Anxiety and Depression scale questionnaire and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index questionnaire in a sample of 4,091 HIV-infected persons. Node predictability and strength were computed to assess the importance of items. We estimated and compared 20 different networks based on subpopulations such as males and females to analyze similarities and differences in network structure, connections, and symptoms. Results: Several consistent patterns and interesting differences emerged across subgroups. Pertaining to the connections, some symptoms such as S12-S13 ("sleepy"-"without enthusiasm") shown a strong positive relationship, indicating that feeling sleepy was a good predictor of lacking enthusiasm, and vice versa. While other symptoms, such as A3-D3 ("worried"-"cheerful"), were negatively related in all networks, revealing that nodes A3 and D3 were bridge symptoms between anxiety and depression. Across all subgroups, the most central symptom was A7 "panic" and S2 "awake", which had the greatest potential to affect an individual's mental state. While S3 "bathroom" and S5 "cough or snore" shown consistent lower node importance, which would be of limited therapeutic use. Conclusions: Mental conditions of PLWH varied considerably among subgroups, inspiring psychiatrists and clinicians that personalized invention to a particular subgroup was essential and might be more effective during treatment than adopting the same therapeutic schedule.

Abstract
Background Self-reported sleep quality is poor in persons with human immunodeficiency virus (PWH), but prior studies commonly used nonspecific questionnaires, investigated only single sleep disorders, or lacked human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-negative controls. We addressed these limitations in the Pharmacokinetics and Clinical Observations in People Over Fifty (POPPY) Sleep Substudy by assessing PWH and HIV-negative controls for insomnia, restless legs syndrome (RLS), and sleep apnea (SA). Methods Previously enrolled POPPY participants coenrolled in this substudy without regard to sleep symptoms. Participants completed validated sleep assessments including the Insomnia Severity Index questionnaire, International Restless Legs Syndrome Study Group questionnaire, and in-home, wrist-worn overnight oximetry. They also completed health-related quality of life questionnaires including 36-item Short Form (SF-36) and Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) sleep questionnaires. Results We enrolled 357 PWH (246 >50 years of age; 111 between 18 and 50 years) and 126 HIV-negative controls >50 years of age. Among PWH, criteria were met by 21% for insomnia, 13% for RLS, and 6% for SA. Compared with HIV-negative controls, PWH had a higher risk of insomnia (adjusted odds ratio, 5.3; 95% confidence interval, 2.2-12.9) but not RLS or SA. Compared with PWH without insomnia, those with insomnia reported significantly worse scores on all SF-36 and PROMIS components; fewer than 30% reported previous diagnosis or treatment for insomnia. Conclusions Insomnia was more common in PWH, associated with worse health-related quality of life, and frequently undiagnosed. Further research should focus on the pathogenesis of insomnia in PWH and the development of effective screening and intervention strategies for this unique population.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Chronic sleep disruption can have significant negative health effects and prior studies suggest that people with HIV (PWH) have disproportionately higher rates of sleep problems. METHODS We evaluated baseline sleep of sedentary, older adults (50-75 years) with (n = 28) and without HIV (n = 29) recruited into a 24-week exercise study. Subjective sleep quality was assessed with the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI); objective sleep parameters were assessed using wrist-worn actigraphy. Regression models were used to investigate changes in outcomes. RESULTS Fifty-seven participants completed the intervention. At baseline, PWH had significantly lower sleep efficiency (88.7 [95% CI 86, 91]%) compared to controls (91.8 [95% CI 91, 93]%; p = 0.02); other sleep measures indicated poorer sleep among PWH but did not reach statistical significance (p ≥ 0.12). Overall, sleep outcomes did not significantly change with the exercise intervention (all p > 0.05). In adjusted analyses, PWH demonstrated a decrease in total sleep time (-22.1 [-43.7, -0.05] p = 0.045) and sleep efficiency (-1.3 [-2.5, -.01], p = 0.03) during the 24 weeks of exercise; these differences were attenuated and no longer significant after adjusting for exercise intensity. At the completion of the intervention, compared to controls, PWH had significantly poorer sleep by PSQI score (2.2 [0.6, 3.8]; p = 0.006) and sleep efficiency (-2.8 [-5.4,-0.2]%; p = 0.04). CONCLUSIONS In this study, sleep disturbance was more prevalent in sedentary older PWH compared to uninfected controls. An exercise intervention had minimal effect on sleep impairments among PWH nor controls. Among older adults, interventions beyond cardiovascular and resistance exercise may be needed to significantly alter subjective and objective sleep outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In comparison to the general population, persons living with HIV show a higher prevalence of poor quality of sleep, with estimates from 24.1-100% vs in the normal population 10-40%. There are not enough data on the poor quality of sleep among HIV-infected persons in Ethiopia. METHODS Hospital-based cross-sectional study design was conducted among 336 HIV-infected persons in Mettu Karl Referral Hospital. Pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQI), social phobia inventory (SPIN), changes in sexual functioning questionnaire short-form (CSFQ-14), Fagerstrom test for nicotine dependence (FTND), severity of dependence scale (SDS), and CAGE questionnaire (cut down, annoyed, guilty, eye opener) was used. Data were analyzed by SPSS 20 version. Bivariate and multivariable regressions were computed, and a significance level was declared at a point P-value of <0.05. RESULTS A total of 336 respondents completed all questionnaires with response rate 98.53%. A total of 192 participants (57.1%) had poor sleep quality. Concerning associated factors; positive for social phobia, sexual dysfunction, living alone, poor antiretroviral (ARV) treatment adherence, and drunken alcohol had a positive association with poor sleep quality. CONCLUSION Of the persons living with HIV (PLWH) in Mettu Karl Referral Hospital, 57.1% experienced poor sleep quality. Social phobia, living arrangement, sexual dysfunction, poor ARV treatment adherence, and use of alcohol showed a significant association with poor quality of sleep. The findings suggest that a longitudinal study will be needed to elucidate the causal relationship of variables, and routine screening of poor sleep quality among PLWH is highly recommended. Furthermore, integrating and launching mental health services at ART clinic is greatly important.

Sleep Med 2020; 82:84-95. [PMID: 33906044 DOI: 10.1016/j.sleep.2020.08.028] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/01/2019] [Revised: 07/21/2020] [Accepted: 08/25/2020] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine whether selected genes and plasma markers involved in energy homeostasis are associated with sleep disruption or duration in adults with HIV/AIDS. METHODS A sample of 289 adults with HIV/AIDS wore a wrist actigraph for 72 h to estimate total sleep time (TST) and wake after sleep onset (WASO). Twenty-three single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) spanning 5 energy homeostasis genes (adiponectin [ADIPOQ], ghrelin [GHRL], leptin [LEP], peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-alpha [PPARA], and -gamma [PPARG]) were genotyped using a custom array. Plasma markers of energy homeostasis (adiponectin, ghrelin, leptin) were measured by commercial multiplex assay. RESULTS After adjusting for demographic and clinical characteristics (race/ethnicity, gender, CD4 cell count, waist circumference, medications), both WASO and TST were associated with SNPs in ADIPOQ (rs182052), LEP (rs10244329, rs3828942), PPARA (rs135551, rs4253655), and PPARG (rs709151). Additional SNPs in ADIPOQ were associated with WASO (rs1501299, rs3821799, rs6773957) and TST (rs2241766). TST was also associated with SNPs in GHRL (rs26802), LEP (rs11760956), PPARA (rs135547, rs8138102, rs4253776), and PPARG (rs12490265, rs796313). Many covariate-adjusted associations involved a significant interaction with markers of HIV (viral load, years since diagnosis). Among plasma markers, higher adiponectin was associated with less WASO, higher ghrelin and glucose levels with shorter TST, and higher leptin with longer TST. CONCLUSIONS Replication of SNPs in all five genes and three plasma markers of energy homeostasis were associated with objective sleep measures. HIV disease influenced many of the associations. Findings strengthen evidence for associations between energy homeostasis genetics and poor sleep, and provide direction for pharmacological intervention research.

Abstract
People living with HIV are at increased risk for sleep disturbances. Up to 75% of the HIV-infected individuals in the United States experience sleep disturbances of some kind. Previous studies have suggested an association between patient-reported sleep disturbances and impaired immune function. This study evaluates data obtained via sleep actigraphy to evaluate the relationship between objectively measured sleep, HIV viral load, and immune function. While this study found no relationship between objective sleep and CD4+ T- lymphocyte count, higher sleep efficiency was weakly correlated with lower HIV viral loads, τb(93) = -.165, p = .043. More research is warranted to clarify the nature of these relationships.

Abstract
PURPOSE Sleep disturbances are prevalent among patients with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), even those who are being treated on antiretroviral therapy. It is important to understand the metabolomic mechanisms underlying sleep disturbances among people living with HIV (PLWH). METHODS A review of recent literature was performed to explore the use of metabolomics in understanding sleep among PLWH. RESULTS We found only two studies that used metabolomics to explore sleep health among PLWH. CONCLUSION This paper reviews common sleep disorders in HIV, the existing metabolomic studies that may explain the relationship, and implications for future research. The use of metabolomics in exploring sleep disorders among PLWH will help to elucidate mechanistic links to improve patient outcomes.

Abstract
Persons living with HIV (PLWH) are significantly more likely to meet criteria for a psychiatric disorder compared to the general population. To our knowledge there are no prior studies that report rates of psychiatric diagnosis documentation in electronic medical records (EMRs) of PLWH. The goal for this study was to report the rates of a variety of psychiatric diagnoses among PLWH in electronic medical records. Participants (n = 2,336) were enrolled in the Center for AIDS Research (CFAR) Longitudinal Database study at the University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, PA. Diagnostic codes were extracted from the EMR for depressive disorders, alcohol and substance use disorders, PTSD, sleep disorders, and adjustment disorders and were compared to rates from national epidemiological studies. Rates of Major Depressive Disorder in the EMR were comparable to prior reports on HIV-infected samples. In contrast, rates of PTSD, substance use disorders, alcohol use disorders, adjustment disorders and insomnia from the EMR were all markedly lower compared to national estimates for HIV-infected samples. While clinicians appropriately documented evidence of Major Depressive Disorder, other psychiatric comorbidities were largely overlooked. These findings suggest a potential bias in how clinicians either detect or document psychiatric disorders in PLWH.

Abstract
Objectives/Background: Although gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men (GBMSM) bear a disproportionate burden of HIV in the U.S., they are underrepresented in HIV-related sleep research. This study sought to (a) investigate changes in self-reported sleep quality among a sample of GBMSM living with HIV during participation in an online sexual risk reduction intervention and (b) examine whether changes in sleep quality predicted later health outcomes.Method/Participants: Men (n = 505) completed measures of sleep quality, psychological distress, condom use self-efficacy, and antiretroviral therapy (ART) adherence. Analyses focused on data obtained from participants as part of the eligibility survey, baseline assessment, and the 9- and 12-month follow-up assessments.Results: Most participants did not report changes in their sleep quality (i.e., 50.1% maintained good sleep quality, 22.8% maintained poor sleep quality) between study screening and 9-month follow-up. Nevertheless, 17.0% indicated improved sleep quality and 10.1% indicated a negative change in sleep quality. Compared to those who maintained good sleep quality during the study, men whose sleep quality declined by 9 months reported significantly greater symptoms of depression and anxiety, as well as lower ART adherence and condom use self-efficacy at 12 months. Similarly, men who maintained poor sleep quality reported greater symptoms of depression and anxiety at 12 months. Men whose sleep quality improved reported better mental health than those with poor or worsening sleep quality.Conclusions: Findings suggest that optimizing sleep health should be prioritized in interventions aimed at improving overall well-being of GBMSM living with HIV.

Abstract
Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-associated neurocognitive disorder (HAND) remains prevalent in the anti-retroviral (ART) era. While there is a complex interplay of many factors in the neuropathogenesis of HAND, decreased neurotrophic synthesis has been shown to contribute to synaptic degeneration which is a hallmark of HAND neuropathology. Brain derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is the most abundant and synaptic-promoting neurotrophic factor in the brain and plays a critical role in both learning and memory. Reduced BDNF levels can worsen neurocognitive impairment in HIV-positive individuals across several domains. In this paper, we review the evidence from pre-clinical and clinical studies showing the neuroprotective roles of BDNF against viral proteins, effect on co-morbid mental health disorders, altered human microbiome and ART in HAND management. Potential applications of BDNF modulation in pharmacotherapeutic, cognitive and behavioral interventions in HAND are also discussed. Finally, research gaps and future research direction are identified with the aim of helping researchers to direct efforts to make these BDNF driven interventions improve the quality of life of patients living with HAND.

Abstract
Objective: The burden of sleep disturbance and depressive symptomology is high for persons living with HIV and particularly so for women. While cognitive behavioral stress management (CBSM) is shown to reduce symptoms of depression and 24-hr urinary free cortisol output (CORT) in HIV+ men, less is known about the effects of CBSM on mood and concomitant sleep disturbance in HIV+ women. The study aim is to model longitudinal change in sleep disturbance, depressive symptomology, and CORT for HIV+ women exposed to a 12-week CBSM intervention or control condition. Methods: Self-reported sleep quality and depressive symptomology, along with CORT, was collected from surveys at baseline and approximately every three months thereafter for nine months from 130 HIV+ women (Mage = 38.44, SD = 7.73). The data was used to specify a parallel process latent growth model with CORT as a time-varying covariate. Results: The model showed acceptable fit. There was a linear decline in sleep disturbance (β = -0.32, p < .05) and logarithmic decline in depressive symptomology (β = -0.33, p < .05) for those receiving the intervention. Decline in sleep disturbance predicted lower CORT at nine months. Furthermore, having less depressive symptoms at baseline was associated with lower initial levels of sleep disturbance and greater improvement in sleep quality over time. There was no discernible association between sleep and mood disturbance in the control group. Across groups, there was a consistent association between older age and greater sleep disturbance (r = 0.34, p < .01). Conclusion: Sleep disturbance appears to be a behavioral target for CBSM in HIV+ women although older age, preintervention levels of depressive mood, and time-varying levels of CORT output may limit improvement in sleep quality over time.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE/BACKGROUND This study assessed the prevalence and correlates of various sleep disturbances in HIV-infected patients compared to sex- and age-frequency-matched HIV-uninfected controls in China. METHODS This cross-sectional analysis included 1469 HIV-infected cases and 2938 HIV-uninfected controls. Insomnia symptoms, poor sleep quality (Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index [PSQI] >5) as well as their specific domains, were assessed. RESULTS Prevalence of insomnia symptoms, poor sleep quality, and long sleep duration were higher in HIV-infected vs uninfected participants (23.7% vs 19.8%, 24.1% vs 19.9%, and16.1% vs 8.7%, respectively; all p < 0.05), and remained significant after adjusting for age, sex and education. An Age-stratified analysis showed that such differences were significant only at ages 18-29 and 30-44 years for insomnia symptoms and poor sleep quality long sleep duration was significant across all age groups. Among HIV-infected patients, multivariate analysis indicated that older age, depressive symptoms and frailty score were the most consistent variables associated with sleep disorders (ie, insomnia symptoms, poor sleep quality, short and long sleep durations), as well as all associations (if significant) were positive, excluding the negative associations of older age and depressive symptoms with short sleep duration. Regarding HIV-specific factors, only current CD4 cell count ≥500 cells/μL was negatively associated with insomnia symptoms. CONCLUSIONS The impact of HIV infection on sleep disturbances may differ across age groups and are more pronounced among young adults. Additionally, the phenomenon of prolonged sleep duration among HIV-infected patients should be noted, and its link to poor physical health warrants further investigation.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Adults with HIV have greater sleep difficulties and are more likely to smoke cigarettes. We tested whether current smoking plays a role in sleep difficulties experienced by young adults with HIV. DESIGN Cross-sectional. SETTING Data were from the 2011-2014 waves of the National College Health Assessment, an annual survey conducted by the American College Health Association. PARTICIPANTS 108,159 (including N = 224 HIV positive) college students provided data for this study. MEASUREMENTS Health conditions (including HIV positive status) were self-reported. Participants were also asked whether "sleep difficulties" were "traumatic or difficult for you to handle" over the past 12 months. Smoking was self-reported (smokers reported smoking on at least 20 of the last 30 days). Logistic regression models were adjusted for age, sex, survey year, current alcohol use or current marijuana use, diagnosis and/or treatment of anxiety or depression in last year. RESULTS HIV positive students were more likely to be smokers (OR = 2.0, SE = 0.43, 95% CI [1.31, 3.05], P = .001) and were more likely to experience sleep difficulties (OR = 2.02, SE = 0.29, 95% CI [1.52, 2.68], P < .0001). While a significant HIV-x-smoking interaction was not found, when models were stratified by smoking, the relationship between HIV status and sleep difficulties was seen among non-smokers (OR = 1.97), and this relationship was stronger among smokers (OR = 2.64). CONCLUSIONS Among college students, HIV positive status is associated with increased sleep difficulties. These problems are worse among smokers. Sleep interventions are warranted in this vulnerable group, and could potentially enhance smoking cessation efforts.

Abstract
Sleep problems are frequent among people living with HIV (PLWH). Recent studies have found that inadequate nutritional status and presence of gastrointestinal symptoms are associated with sleep problems. Therefore, the objective of the present study was to evaluate the influence of nutritional status and gastrointestinal symptoms on sleep quality in PLWH receiving antiretroviral therapy (ART). A cross-sectional study evaluating the influence of nutritional and gastrointestinal aspects on the quality of sleep in 307 PLWH (age ≥18 years) receiving ART seen at the Specialized Care Service of Santos (SP, Brazil) was carried out. The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), body mass index and three questions from the Self-Reporting Questionnaire (SRQ-20) were used. Generalized linear models adjusted for gender, age, time in use of antiretrovirals, viral load, CD4+ T-lymphocyte cell count and CD4/CD8 ratio were built. Results showed that body mass index did not affect sleep quality. However, the interaction between poor appetite and not having poor digestion and uncomfortable feelings in the stomach negatively influenced sleep quality. The interaction of the three symptoms evaluated also affected sleep quality. Gastrointestinal symptoms were associated with reduced sleep quality, but there was no influence of BMI. Although the etiology of this relationship is unclear, there seems to be an important association between sleep quality, immune function and gastrointestinal disorders.

Abstract
As early and effective antiretroviral therapy has become more widespread, HIV has transitioned from a progressive, fatal disease to a chronic, manageable disease marked by elevated risk of chronic comorbid diseases, including cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). Rates of myocardial infarction, heart failure, stroke, and other CVD manifestations, including pulmonary hypertension and sudden cardiac death, are significantly higher for people living with HIV than for uninfected control subjects, even in the setting of HIV viral suppression with effective antiretroviral therapy. These elevated risks generally persist after demographic and clinical risk factors are accounted for and may be partly attributed to chronic inflammation and immune dysregulation. Data on long-term CVD outcomes in HIV are limited by the relatively recent epidemiological transition of HIV to a chronic disease. Therefore, our understanding of CVD pathogenesis, prevention, and treatment in HIV relies on large observational studies, randomized controlled trials of HIV therapies that are underpowered to detect CVD end points, and small interventional studies examining surrogate CVD end points. The purpose of this document is to provide a thorough review of the existing evidence on HIV-associated CVD, in particular atherosclerotic CVD (including myocardial infarction and stroke) and heart failure, as well as pragmatic recommendations on how to approach CVD prevention and treatment in HIV in the absence of large-scale randomized controlled trial data. This statement is intended for clinicians caring for people with HIV, individuals living with HIV, and clinical and translational researchers interested in HIV-associated CVD.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate sleep disturbances in a diverse, contemporary HIV-positive patient cohort and to identify demographic, clinical, and immune correlates. METHODS A convenience sample of 176 patients from a racially and ethnically diverse HIV-positive patient cohort in an urban population. This was a cross-sectional, epidemiologic study. We surveyed participants using multiple standardized instruments to assess depression, sleep quality, and risk for sleep apnea. We analyzed demographic, behavioral, and clinical correlates. RESULTS A total of 56% of participants were female, 75% Black and 64% had heterosexual HIV risk. The median age was 49 years. Poor sleep quality (Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index > 5) was reported by 73% of patients and 52% met insomnia diagnosis criteria. A single question about self-reported sleep problems predicted a Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index > 5 with a sensitivity and specificity of 82% and 81%, respectively. Female sex was significantly associated with higher risk of poor sleep quality, depression, and insomnia, whereas higher risk of obstructive sleep apnea was significantly associated with older age, male sex, obesity (body mass index ⩾ 30 kg/m2), and metabolic comorbidities. High risk for obstructive sleep apnea, high rate of depression, and poor sleep hygiene represent treatment targets for sleep problems in HIV patients. CONCLUSION Sleep disturbances were common in this patient cohort, although largely undiagnosed and untreated. Sleep problems are linked to worse disease progression and increased cardiovascular mortality. Screening for sleep problems with a single question had high sensitivity and specificity. In those patients with self-reported sleep problems, screening for obstructive sleep apnea, depression, and sleep hygiene habits should be part of routine HIV care.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Depression is common among people living with HIV/AIDS; however, studies focusing on the depression of men living with HIV/AIDS are limited. Therefore, we examined the prevalence of depression and its associated factors among men living with HIV/AIDS in China. METHODS A cross-sectional questionnaire survey was conducted in Harbin, China between March and August in 2013. Two-hundred twenty participants completed the Burns Depression Checklist, the Berger HIV Stigma, and the SPIEGEL questionnaire. We also investigated demographics, family support, hostility, and the antiretroviral therapy side effects of men living with HIV/AIDS. RESULTS More than 40% of respondents had depressive symptoms and worry about the health was the major symptom of depression (40.9%). The logistic regression model indicated that bad sleep quality (OR = 3.452), hostility (OR = 1.120), perceived discrimination (OR = 1.110), and antiretroviral therapy side effects (OR = 1.083) were positively associated with depression. Family support (OR = 0.860) was negatively associated with depression for men living with HIV/AIDS. Demographic variables, HIV infection route, disease duration, and CD4+ cell count had no significant associations with depression. CONCLUSION Although China's work of national HIV prevention and treatment has made much progress during the past several years, the prevalence of depression among men living with patients with HIV/AIDS is still prominent. The strongest factor associated with depression among men living with HIV/AIDS was sleep quality. Future studies should explore the effects of interventions for depression among PLWHA.

Abstract
Sleep is frequently altered in systemic infections as a component of sickness behavior in response to inflammation. Sleepiness in sickness behavior has been extensively investigated. Much less attention has instead been devoted to sleep and wake alterations in brain infections. Most of these, as other neuroinfections, are prevalent in sub-Saharan Africa. The present overview highlights the importance of this topic from both the clinical and pathogenetic points of view. Vigilance states and their regulation are first summarized, emphasizing that key nodes in this distributed brain system can be targeted by neuroinflammatory signaling. Sleep-wake changes in the parasitic disease human African trypanosomiasis (HAT) and its animal models are then reviewed and discussed. Experimental data have revealed that the suprachiasmatic nucleus, the master circadian pacemaker, and peptidergic cell populations of the lateral hypothalamus (the wake-promoting orexin neurons and the sleep-promoting melanin-concentrating hormone neurons) are targeted by African trypanosome infection. It is then discussed how prominent and disturbing are sleep changes in HIV/AIDS, also when the infection is cured with antiretroviral therapy. This recalls attention on the bidirectional interactions between sleep and immune system, including the specialized brain immune response of which microglial cells are protagonists. Sleep changes in an ancient viral disease, rabies, and in the emerging infection due to Zika virus which causes a congenital syndrome, are also dealt with. Altogether the findings indicate that sleep-wake regulation is targeted by brain infections caused by different pathogens and, although the relevant pathogenetic mechanisms largely remain to be clarified, these alterations differ from hypersomnia occurring in sickness behavior. Thus, brain infections point to the vulnerability of the neural network of sleep-wake regulation as a highly relevant clinical and basic science challenge.
