Depression and antidepressant use among people living with HIV in Hawaii: focus on Native Hawaiians.
Depression, including antidepressant use, has not been widely studied in the HIV-positive population or at all in HIV-positive Native Hawaiians. Of 1016 clients in Hawaii's HIV Seropositivity and Medical Management Program in 2001-2002, 300 (30%) reported having depression and half reported taking antidepressants. Native Hawaiians had the lowest depression rates of any group. Antidepressant use did not vary by race/ethnicity.
