Hays, Robert B.; And Others

Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology, v60 n3 p463-69 Jun 1992

Examined impact of social support and HIV-related conditions on depression among 508 gay men. Number of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) related symptoms experienced significantly predicted depression cross-sectionally and one year later. Satisfaction with each of three types of social support (emotional, practical, informational) was inversely correlated with depression. (Author/NB)
