Healthy comparison participants and individuals living with HIV and bipolar disorder appear to have difficulties initially learning negatively-laden information as compared to positively- or neutrally- laden information.
After a delay, however, individuals across all groups (except HIV-/BD+) recall neutral information better than information that is emotionally laden.
Interventions designed to improve outcomes in this group that is at high risk for HIV transmission should focus on positive and neutral information rather than negative information. |
