review/Comm
entary
-‐
Poor
living
conditions
in
encampments
after
the
earthquake
exacerbated
stigma
of
being
HIV
positive
(thru
lack
of
privacy
in
camps)
and
undermined
mental
health
(created
life
stressors
that
led
to
feelings
of
helplessness,
worthlessness,
and
depression)
in
a
way
that
negatively
affected
access
and
adherence
to
HAART
-‐
There
is
a
need
to
explore
lessons
learned
from
natural
disasters
and
HIV
risk,
continuity
of
care,
ART
maintenance,
and
existential
issues.
Trauma-‐
inducing
events
like
rape,
domestic
violence,
and
victimization
of
women
are
common
after
natural
disasters,
as
are
traumatic
effects
of
homelessness
-‐
They
expect
to
find
a
synergetic
relationship
between
earthquake
sequelae
and
stigma
on
HIV
care
delivery,
given
historical
stigma-‐induced
barriers
to
HIV
care
globally
