Abstract
BACKGROUND: Interpersonal trauma (IPT) is highly prevalent among HIV-positive (HIV+) individuals, but its relationship with brain morphology and function is poorly understood. SETTING: This cross-sectional analysis evaluated the associations of IPT with cognitive task performance, daily functioning, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) brain cortical thickness, and bilateral volumes of 4 selected basal ganglia regions in a US-based cohort of aviremic HIV+ individuals, with (HIV+ IPT+) and without IPT exposure (HIV+ IPT-), and sociodemographically matched HIV-negative controls with (HIV- IPT+) and without IPT exposure (HIV- IPT-). METHODS: Enrollees completed brain MRI scans, a semistructured psychiatric interview, a neurocognitive battery, and 3 measures of daily functioning. Demographic and clinical characteristics of the 4 groups were described, and pairwise between-group comparisons performed using χ tests, analysis of variance, or t-tests. Linear or Poisson regressions evaluated relationships between group status and the outcomes of interest, in 6 pairwise comparisons, using Bonferroni correction for statistical significance. RESULTS: Among 187 participants (mean age 50.0 years, 63% male, 64% non-white), 102 were HIV+ IPT+, 35 were HIV+ IPT-, 26 were HIV- IPT-, and 24 were HIV- IPT+. Compared with the remaining 3 groups, the HIV+ IPT+ group had more activities of daily living declines, higher number of impaired Patient's Assessment of Own Functioning Inventory scores, and lower cortical thickness in multiple cerebral regions. Attention/working memory test performances were significantly better in HIV- IPT- compared with the HIV+ IPT+ and HIV+ IPT- groups. Basal ganglia MRI volumes were not significantly different in any between-group comparisons. CONCLUSION: IPT exposure and HIV infection have a synergistic effect on daily functioning and cortical thickness in aviremic HIV+ individuals.
