TL;DR
There is no need for asymptomatic people with HIV infection to restrict their lives in order to avoid exposure to stressful life experiences or to develop special skills for coping with stress to forestall the progression of HIV illness.
Abstract
There is no need for asymptomatic people with HIV infection to restrict their lives in order to avoid exposure to stressful life experiences or to develop special skills for coping with stress to forestall the progression of HIV illness.

American Journal of EpidemiologyTHE MULTICENTER AIDS COHORT STUDY: RATIONALE, ORGANIZATION, AND SELECTED CHARACTERISTICS OF THE PARTICIPANTS
1,200 Citations1987Richard A. Kaslow, David G. Ostrow +4 more
The Multicenter AIDS Cohort Study was designed to elucidate the natural history of the infection causing acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), identify risk factors for occurrence and clinical expression of the virus, and establish a repository of biologic specimens for future study.
Journal of Behavioral MedicineStress, loneliness, and changes in herpesvirus latency
507 Citations1985Ronald Glaser, Janice K. Kiecolt‐Glaser +2 more
Data suggest that stress-related immunosuppression can significantly modulate herpesvirus latency, and high-loneliness subjects had significantly higher EBV antibody titers than low-lonelsiness subjects.
Brain Behavior and ImmunityStress-related immune suppression: Health implications
384 Citations1987Ronald Glaser, John Rice +9 more
The data support the linkage between stress-related immunosuppression and health and suggest that T-cell killing by memory T lymphocytes of EBV transformed autologous B lymphocytes also declined during examination periods.
PubMedCD4 percentage, CD4 number, and CD4:CD8 ratio in HIV infection: which to choose and how to use.
311 Citations1989Jeremy M. G. Taylor, J L Fahey +2 more
The CD4 percent may be preferable to the CD4 absolute number for use in stratifying individuals who are candidates for antiviral or immunotherapy for HIV infection, and for monitoring patients in clinical trials.
Annals of Internal MedicineInfection with the Human Immunodeficiency Virus: Clinical Manifestations and Their Relationship to Immune Deficiency
216 Citations1987Richard A. Kaslow, JOHN P. PHAIR +6 more
A simple systematically derived clinical index may be useful for assessing groups of HIV-infected persons, especially those whose T-lymphocyte numbers and function cannot be readily measured.
Psychosomatic MedicinePsychosocial Risk Factors in the Developmental of Infectious Mononucleosis*
187 Citations1979Stanislav V. Kasl, Alfred S. Evans +1 more
The combination of high motivation and poor academic performance interacted in predicting clinical IM, and it was revealed that these two additional indices of infection or illness could also be predicted from the same set of psychosocial risk factors.
American Journal of Public HealthStress reduction training changed number of sexual partners but not immune function in men with HIV.
149 Citations1989Thomas J. Coates, Leon McKusick +2 more
Compared to those randomized to a wait list control, treatment subjects reported significantly fewer sexual partners in the prior month at post-test (1.10 vs 2.29 for controls).
American Journal of PsychiatryPsychiatric diagnosis before serological testing for the human immunodeficiency virus
135 Citations1990S Perry, L B Jacobsberg +4 more
Findings suggest that even before they are notified of HIV test results, many individuals at perceived risk for AIDS may be vulnerable to future depression and nonintravenous drug abuse.
International Journal of CancerHydrocortisone and some other hormones enhance the expression of HTLV‐III
125 Citations1986Phillip D. Markham, S. Zaki Salahuddin +3 more
It is demonstrated that hydrocortisone, a readily available, inexpensive supplement to cell culture media, can facilitate the detection and isolation of HTLV‐III and a role for corticosteroids and possibly gonadal steroids in the modulation of virus expression and/or release is suggested.
The American Journal of MedicinePredicting progression to AIDS: Combined usefulness of CD4 lymphocyte counts and p24 antigenemia
86 Citations1990Keith B. MacDonell, Joan S. Chmiel +3 more
The data indicate that p24 antigenemia can first be detected with moderate CD4 cell depletion, is associated with a more rapid decline in the CD4 lymphocyte population, and combined with CD 4 lymphocyte counts is useful in identifying individuals at significantly greater risk of disease progression.

Brain Behavior and ImmunityStress-associated depression in cellular immunity: Implications for acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS)
60 Citations1987Ronald Glaser, Janice K. Kiecolt‐Glaser
The data obtained in these studies are consistent with the concept that the cellular immune response, in particular, is down-regulated as a consequence of certain psychological stressors, and these changes can be observed in different study populations.
