Description
Summary:	To define the incidence of depressive disorders and anxiety disorders in prisoners of three prisons of CCAA in treatment with antiretrovirals, and moreover the associated variables and the intensity of social support within the prison. Through a cross-sectional design 281 prisoners were studied. 42% showed mental morbidity and 53.4% lacked social support. To be imprisoned in the Granada prison, to be a woman, poor health state, to describe difficulties for compliance with antiretrovirals drug, a history greater than 13 years for drugs consumption, and usual residence with the couple of family, all were factors associated with mental morbidity. Factors associated with social support non-existence were history of more than one imprisonment, lack of familiarity with the medical equipment, to be more than 35 years old, and to suffer mental morbidity.
