NHS 'failing' patients living with HIV The failure to address the mental-health needs of people with HIV could lead to an increase in infections, a cross-party group of MPs suggests.
People with HIV are twice as likely to experience mental-health difficulties.
And in those with depression, support raises adherence to medication by 83%.
But most HIV clinics have no mental-health professionals on staff, which, the MPs say, could be reversing progress made over the past decade toward ending the epidemic in the UK. BBC News
