An investigation was conducted to explore the relationship between emotional distress and HIV progression. One hundred twenty-five homosexual, HIV-positive males participated in a 12-month longitudinal investigation. Psychosocial data were collected at 6-month intervals and CD4+ data were collected from diagnosis to the end of the investigation. Principal component analyses were performed initially to identify factors of emotional distress and health status. In addition, CD4+ reliability assessments were performed to ensure the validity of the prognostic assessments made. As a result of these analyses, 47 individuals were eligible for the main analyses. The results from a stepwise regression revealed that disease progression was significantly predicted by CD4+ count at diagnosis (32% of variance) and emotional distress (17% of variance), but was unrelated to subjective perceptions of health. The data suggest that some of the variability in HIV progression can be attributed to emotional distress.
