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

Page 13: The findings and conclusions are those of the authors and do not necessarily represent the official position of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

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 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.

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

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 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
