    Abstract:
    ABSTRACTThis study examines the relationship between coping self-efficacy, concurrent stress, and psychological distress (borderline/clinical anxiety, depression, and PTSD symptoms) among people living with HIV (PLWH). Using data from a cohort of PLWH living in a southern peri-urban area, logistic regression analyses were conducted to determine the effects of self-reported coping self-efficacy on psychological distress in a sample of 85 violence-affected PLWH. We also tested the moderating effect of coping self-efficacy on the concurrent stress-psychological distress relationships. In adjusted models, coping self-efficacy was significantly associated with symptoms of anxiety and PTSD, but not depressive symptoms. Findings indicate that high coping self-efficacy may reduce one's likelihood of anxiety and PTSD symptoms among PLWH.
