OBJECTIVES: This study investigated whether sexual orientation moderated the mediation effects of coping resources (i.e., spirituality and complementary and integrative health [CIH] use) in the relationship between HIV stigma and psychological well-being (PWB) among older men with HIV (MWH).
METHOD: Data from the Research of Older Adults with HIV (ROAH) study was used (N = 640, Age 50+). Structural equation modeling (SEM) was employed to examine a coping resource mediation model. We used a multiple-group procedure to test moderation effects by sexual orientation.
RESULTS: HIV stigma was negatively associated with spirituality and PWB. HIV stigma accounted for a significant amount of variance in PWB, with significant indirect effects via spirituality, indicating a partial mediation. Chi-square difference tests supported the hypothesis that this mediation effect was moderated by sexual orientation. CIH use was not statistically significant.
DISCUSSION: HIV stigma's negative relationship with PWB was salient in both groups. Spirituality's buffer between HIV stigma and PWB was stronger in older gay/bisexual MWH compared to their heterosexual counterparts. With respect to HIV stigma, older gay/bisexual MWH exhibited a "crisis competence" in coping with stigma, perhaps through overcoming past homophobia related to their sexual minority status (i.e., homophobia).
