Depression symptoms at T2^a mediate the effect of internalized HIV-related stigma at T1 on ART adherence at T3 (n=862)

Note. Associations are presented as path coefficients (unstandardized). Depression symptoms and ART adherence at T1 (as well as the covariates race, age, time on ART, illicit drug use, income, education, and region) were also entered as control variables.

^a Fifty two participants did not have data on depression symptoms at T2 or T1. These 52 participants did not differ from the participants included in the mediation analysis, on internalized stigma or any of the covariates (all p values > .10), and listwise deletion was used.

^b When depression at T2 is in the model.

* p < .05; ^** p < .01
