The aim of this study was to investigate the risk and protective factors for the mental health of people living with HIV. A total of 237 participants were interviewed. Women predominated (51.5%), with an average age of 46.9 years, black and brown (67%), with low family income (65.4%) and low education level (62.8%). 72.6% of the interviewees were considered adherent to antiretroviral therapy and 33.3% presented emotional illness. The results showed that satisfaction with body image, social support, the resilience, the religiosity and the presence of morbidities had a positive impact on mental health, while the use of illicit drugs, being a woman and the stress experienced during the COVID-19 pandemic increased the chances of emotional illness.

This mixed study evaluated changes and stability in health indicators (depression, anxiety, stress, alcohol consumption and amount of hours of sleep) and the belief in academic self-efficacy of Brazilian university students, before and during the COVID-19 pandemic. The first step, quantitative and longitudinal, investigated 20 students (average age=20.8 years; SD=3.4) in the period of 2019 and 2020, suggesting the maintenance of mental health indicators and the reduction of alcohol consumption and self-efficacy. In the second, qualitative stage, interviews during the quarantine revealed processes of personal and academic adaptation, in addition to concerns about mental health in the face of the pandemic. Institutional responses by universities to these ongoing challenges are recommended, as opposed to an individual analytical perspective.
