description Health disparities affecting persons living with HIV (PLWH) as well as those affecting individuals who use substances have been documented in China. However, health status and outcomes within the intersectional population of those who both live with HIV and use substances is not well understood. One hundred and sixty-nine PLWH receiving care in China completed surveys assessing HIV-clinical factors, substance use, and HIV-related physical health symptoms. We tested associations between substance use and health symptoms using multivariate logistic and ordinal regressions. Using one substance over the past week was associated with greater maximal severity of physical symptoms (p < .01); using two or more substances in the past week was associated with both increased total physical symptom severity (p < .05) and a dosage response in increased maximal severity (p < .01). Findings highlight the need for providers to address substance use for comprehensive care of PLWH to improve overall wellbeing.
