^*p<.05 HIV+ patients had significantly higher scores than both PTLS patients and NPCG; PTLS patients had significantly higher scores than NPCG.

^*p<.001 In all 3 groups, depressed patients and controls had higher scores than their non-depressed counterparts.

^**The cognitive subscale scores were computed by summing responses to the following items-sadness, pessimism, past failure, guilty feeling, punishment feeling, self-dislike, self-criticalness & worthlessness.

Since Item 9 (suicidal thoughts and wishes) was an outcome variable in our study and is included in the computation of the cognitive subscale score, data regarding the cognitive subscale are reported both with and without this item.

^***The somatic/affective subscale was computed by responses on remaining items-loss of pleasure, crying, agitation, loss of interest, indecisiveness, loss of energy, changes in sleep pattern, irritability, changes in appetite, concentration difficult, tiredness or fatigue and loss of interest in sex.
