Highlights the critical need to address depressive mood and somatic symptoms alongside chronic pain management to improve comprehensive clinical care for people with HIV.

Implication

Clinical evaluation finds frequent chronic pain associated with anhedonia in people with HIV, highlighting links between somatic discomfort and depressive mood.
