The impact of the military operations in Ukraine on access to health care for people living with HIV

Abstract

This study evaluated epidemiological trends alongside the psychosocial well- being of HIV-positive individuals through PHQ-9 and GAD-7 screenings. Findings revealed reduced testing rates and interruptions in therapy; however, the majority of patients demonstrated preserved psychological resilience and functioning adaptive mechanisms. These results underscore the critical need for integrated support systems and continuous monitoring of the mental health of this vulnerable population during wartime.
