TL;DR: Both long-acting regimens met primary criteria for comparability in viral suppression relative to the oral comparator group and the primary analysis used a Bayesian approach to evaluate the hypothesis that the proportion with viral suppression for each long- acting regimen is not worse than the oral regimen proportion.

TL;DR: Most patients with HIV/AIDS belonged to an organized religion and use their religion to cope with their illness, and patients who drink less alcohol tend to be both more spiritual and religious.

TL;DR: In this paper, simplified regimens for the treatment of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) infection may increase patient satisfaction and facilitate adherence, which may improve adherence.

TL;DR: Evaluated gender differences in HRQoL for participants in a large randomized trial comparing antiretroviral regimens found changes in domain scores over time and in response to treatment do not differ significantly by gender, implying that changes indomain scores may be better HRQOL outcomes to compare between HIV-infected men and women in clinical trials than mean domain scores.

TL;DR: Poorer health status and perceptions, less social support, and lower spiritual well-being were related to significant depressive symptoms, while personal regligiosity and having a religious affiliation was not associated when controlling for other factors.
