Implication

Cross-sectional analysis demonstrates lower depression rates in women with HIV who are religious/spiritual, indicating potential impact on treatment adherence.

Key Points

Participants who identified as religious/spiritual showed significantly lower depressive symptoms compared to non-religious participants, suggesting benefits for mental health.
A negative correlation was established between religiosity/spirituality and depression scores, indicating that higher spirituality can lead to lower depression severity.
HIV viral load suppression approached significance among religious/spiritual participants, suggesting a potential link to improved adherence to care, although it was not definitively proven.
Future exploration of spiritually-oriented interventions is needed to support mental health and treatment adherence in women living with HIV.
