摘要
To better understand factors that may contribute to HIV outcomes experienced by Black women living with HIV (BWLWH), the present study examined the relationships among gendered racial microaggressions (GRM; subtle daily insults due to racism and sexism), self-silencing, substance use, antiretroviral therapy (ART) medication adherence, and viral suppression using structural equation modeling and path analysis. Self-silencing and substance use were examined as potential mediators. Participants were 119 BWLWH residing in South Florida. Results of this study showed that GRM was directly and positively associated with self-silencing and indirectly and negatively associated with medication adherence via self-silencing. GRM was directly related to higher alcohol use disorder severity. Self-silencing was directly and negatively associated with medication adherence. Medication adherence was directly and negatively related to viral suppression. The model fit the data well. Identifying the negative consequences of GRM in conjunction with self-silencing and substance use may help inform prevention and intervention strategies to improve mental health and HIV-related outcomes among BWLWH.
