People living with HIV (PLWH) have a higher prevalence of psychiatric disorders than the general population. We retrospectively examined the medical records of PLWH who underwent the Kessler Psychological Distress Scale-10, the Patient Health Questionnaire-9, and the Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 at an HIV referral hospital during the COVID-19 pandemic. Some PLWH who were unemployed with a history of psychiatric visits may remain in poor mental health during the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic until the Omicron variant occurs, so they may need to pay attention to their mental health.
