Elimination of Mother-to-Child HIV Transmission (EMCT) Goal
Perinatal HIV incidence < 1 per 100,000 live births <40 cases among an annual cohort of 4 million births
AND Transmission rate < 1%
<87 cases (estimated 8,700 HIV-exposed births)
Summary of a Consultation on Perinatal HIV Transmission in the United States, 2008Nesheim SR, et al. Pediatrics. 2012 Oct;130(4):738-44., Division of HIV/AIDS Prevention Strategic Plan
What do we know (estimate)?
HIV-infected women delivering infants annually ≈ 8700 in 20061
≈ 30% increase since 2000
HIV-infected children < 13 years old diagnosed per year in 50 states (estimated)3
223 (179 are perinatal) in 2009 187 (107 are perinatal) in 2013

What do we know (estimate)?
Mother-to-Child transmission rate: 2-3% No significant difference in transmission rate by
race/ethnicity, (mirrors the tremendous racial disparity among women with HIV)
~85% mothers/infants Black, ~12% Hispanic, 2-4% white

“When one tugs at a single thing in nature, (s)he finds it attached to the rest of the
world.”-- John Muir
Syndemics
The concentration and deleterious interaction of two or more diseases or other health conditions in a population, especially as a consequence of social conditions that promote disease clustering.
Merrill Singer, PhD, University of Connecticut
Syndemic Perspective
The multiple contemporary threats to the health of marginalized and disadvantaged populations are not concurrent epidemics in that they are not completely separate phenomena
They constitute sets of enmeshed and mutually enhancing synergistic
health problems that, working together in a context of noxious social and physical conditions, can significantly affect the overall disease burden and access to services of a population
HIV/AIDS
Studying this history-changing disease and responding to it within public health frameworks, as though it were separate from other diseases is a distortion
As it exists in the world, HIV/AIDS is never separate from other diseases, nor is it detached from social structures and social
environments that channel the lived experiences and health and
mental states of infected individuals
Syndemics: HIV/AIDS
Research, prevention programs, policy interventions and other aspects of public health practice have focused on one disease at a time, leaving other health problems to be addressed by parallel enterprises
Using the term epidemic to describe HIV/AIDS does not adequately describe this serious public health problem Which involves the transmission of a virus in close
conjunction with a set of opportunistic diseases, but also with many non-opportunistic health conditions.
Syndemics
We need to assess the nature of the specific interconnections and pathways of influence among the parts, Including the intricate ways in which they foster and
reinforce each other and Thereby create complex, burdensome and challenging
webs of entwined health and social problems
Mental Illness
http://www.nimh.nih.gov/health/publications/the-numbers-count-mental-disorders-in-america/index.shtml
26.2 % of Americans ages 18 and older suffer from a diagnosable mental illness in a given year.
About 6% suffer from a serious mental illness.
Mental disorders are the leading cause of disability in the U.S. and Canada.
Many people suffer from more than 1 mental disorder at a time (45%).
Mental Illness and HIV
The direct effects of HIV on the brain
Stigma and distress associated with having HIV infection or being a member of a marginalized group
As manifestations of the opportunistic infections and diseases associated with HIV
As a result of medications used to treat HIV infection and its complications

HIV Continuum of Care: Total Population, United States
Mental Illnesses Can Impact Each Step of the Continuum of HIV Care
Among mental illnesses, alcohol and other substance use disorders and depression have been consistently associated with a reduced likelihood of being engaged in care.
IAPAC expert panel recommended that, to enhance entry into and retention in HIV care, we should treat substance abuse, depression and other mental illnesses.
IAPAC= International Association of Providers of AIDS Care
Studies Linking Poor Mental Health with Difficulties Engaging in HIV Care
Study of delayed HIV diagnosis found multiple life stressors (six were studied including substance use issues past 12 months and history of hospitalization for mental illness) were associated with delayed HIV diagnosis*
Antiretroviral Treatment Access Study (ARTAS): A linkage to HIV care intervention was effective among people without depressive symptoms, but not effective among those with depressive symptoms**

Severe Mental Illness
People with Severe Mental Illness are at increased risk for infections with HIV, hepatitis B and C. Estimated 8-fold incidence of HIV than standard US population rate Estimated 5-fold incidence of hepatitis B Estimated 11-fold incidence of hepatitis C
Rosenberg SD et al. Prevalence of HIV, hepatitis B, and hepatitis C in people with severe mental illness. Am J Public Health 2001; 91: 31-7
HIV Infection and Mental Illness
The populations we seek to reach in preventing and treating HIV infection have a much higher prevalence of mental illness (including substance use disorders) than the general population.
Mental illnesses are associated with acquiring HIV, transmitting HIV, delayed HIV testing, difficulties engaging in HIV care and treatment, and death from HIV infection.
HIV prevention and treatment outcomes would be considerably enhanced through addressing mental illness.

Mental Health & Substance Abuse: Recommendations from the EMCT
Stakeholders Group
Mental health and substance use issues: Weak linkages between HIV and MH/SA services
Unavailable, inaccessible, and/or compartmentalized
MH/SA services impact the ability to provide
comprehensive HIV healthcare
Workforce policy/training issues impede the provision of
effective MH/SA service
Lack of access to reproductive health increases the
overall burden on women, which can impact mental
health
