The major public health problem that is HIV/AIDS in persons with a serious mental illness is aptly described a “syndemic.” Having HIV/AIDS puts one at much greater risk for developing a serious mental illness. Conversely, having a serious mental illness, such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, major depressive disorder, substance use disorder, is associated with many factors that place one at greater risk for contracting and transmitting HIV. And, in both cases of serious mental illness and HIV/AIDS, each disorder creates many new challenges in the management of the other disorder. This chapter addresses these challenges, which center around being able to participate actively and adhere to medication regimens needed to manage both medical and psychiatric conditions. Fortunately, specialized models of care like comprehensive, integrated clinics and nurse care managers are ways to provide effective, satisfying, and cost-effective care to this most vulnerable population.

Rehabilitation literature indicates that people with serious mental illness (SMI) exhibit many of the risk factors associated with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), the precipitant of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), placing this population at high risk for acquiring and transmitting HIV. One way to combat the spread of HIV/AIDS is for rehabilitation counselors to focus on reducing risk behaviors and increasing knowledge through education efforts which address the unique needs and circumstances of people with SMI. Specific risk behaviors and educational intervention programs for people with SMI are described in this paper.
