The estimate that the risk of suicide is 100-fold higher in people with HIV (PWH) than in the general population is widely cited, including in the World Health Organization’s (WHO’s) World Mental Health report from which the above quote is taken.1 This figure originates from a systematic review and meta-analysis by Pelton and colleagues, who estimated the ‘lifetime incidence’ of suicide among PWH2 and directly compared this measure to the WHO’s annual global suicide mortality rate.
