Any HIV prevention services was defined as HIV testing, HIV counseling, PrEP, or PEP. Analyses for this outcome variable were restricted to participants who had not previously received an HIV-positive test result. Of 67 HIV-negative participants, 50 had received any HIV prevention services.
Any general care services was defined as general preventive care, treatment for being a little sick, or treatment for being very sick. Of 75 total participants, 57 had received any general care services.
Depressive symptomology was dichotomized as a score >9 on the 10-item Centers for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CES-D) (Zhang et al., 2012). Cronbach’s coefficient alpha for this scale among the sample was 0.86.
