Predictors and Consequences of Prescription Opioid Use in Women Living With and Without HIV: 20-Year Follow-Up.

ABSTRACT: Objective: To examine predictors and consequences of prescription opioid use among a cohort of women living with HIV (WLWH) and women without HIV from 2000 to 2019. Materials and Methods: The Women's Interagency HIV Study is a multisite, prospective cohort study. Cumulative proportion of visits with prescription opioid use was categorized as follows: minimal (0%-9%), intermediate (10%-39%), and chronic (>40%). Logistic regression examined independent predictors, and proportional hazards regression estimated unadjusted and adjusted hazards of all-cause mortality, comparing intermediate and chronic prescription opioid use with minimal use. Results: Annual prevalence of prescription opioid use significantly increased from 12.6% to 19.3% from 2000 to 2
