Associations between multiple forms of discrimination and tobacco use among people living with HIV: the mediating role of avoidance coping.
This study examined the use of tobacco among people living with HIV (PLWH) and their use of it as a coping mechanism for multiple forms of discrimination. Many PLWH face stigma and discrimination associated with HIV and race and sexual orientation. This cohort study recruited 202 PLWH from a HIV primary care clinic in Birmingham, AL between 2013 and 2015. Participants were surveyed on their tobacco use and it showed an association with avoidance coping.
