TL;DR: A meta-analytic review of polysomnographic studies comparing sleep in people with and without PTSD suggested that sleep abnormalities exist in PTSD, and that some of the inconsistencies in prior findings may be explained by moderating variables.

TL;DR: Results highlight the influences of PTSD and depression on adherence and HIV disease markers, and underscore the importance of examining comorbid symptomatology in PLWH.

TL;DR: Results support the efficacy of prolonged exposure (PE) at reducing PTSS, depression, negative posttraumatic cognitions, and substance use in PLWH.

TL;DR: It is suggested that HIV- and non-HIV-related PTSD have a similar impact on PLWH and in both cases impact their functioning, adherence to medications, and levels of depression.

TL;DR: Racial discrimination significantly predicted lower adherence levels, whereas sexual orientation- and HIV-related discrimination did not, and the importance of addressing discrimination issues, specifically racial, when designing interventions to improve adherence to HAART is underscored.
