We aimed to determine the prevalence of common MHDs and associated factors among AYPLHIV receiving routine HIV care in Lusaka, Zambia. We conducted a cross-sectional survey embedded within the AdoMinds mixed-methods implementation study. The study was conducted from September 2023 to May 2024 at Chipata Level 1 Hospital, Lusaka. All AYP aged 15\u201324 years enrolled in ART care during the study period were invited to participate. A trained research assistant administered a tablet-based questionnaire including validated screening tools for depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder and substance use. Logistic regression was used to determine factors associated with MHDs. We enrolled 416 AYPLHIV (71.4% of 583 registered in care); 268 (64.4%) were female and the median age was 20 years (IQR: 18, 23). Overall 71.4% (297\/416) screened positive for at least one MHD. Depression was most prevalent at 67.1% (279\/416), followed by anxiety at 35.3% (147\/416). Having at least one MHD was associated with feeling stigmatised because of HIV (AOR\u2009=\u20091.99, 95% CI: 1.10-3.63, p\u2009=\u20090.024). There was borderline evidence that a history of smoking was associated with higher odds of having at least one MHD (AOR\u2009=\u20094.24, 95% CI: 0.98-18.30, p\u2009=\u20090.053). Compared with participants with both parents alive, having lost one parent (AOR\u2009=\u20090.46, 95% CI: 0.21-0.97, p\u2009=\u20090.042) or both parents (AOR\u2009=\u20090.38, 95% CI: 0.18-0.80, p\u2009=\u20090.010) was associated with lower odds of having an MHD. Common MHDs were highly prevalent among AYPLHIV receiving routine HIV care, with HIV-related stigma associated with higher odds of MHDs. Integrating mental health screening and referral pathways into adolescent HIV services may support earlier identification and care.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pmen.0000710","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,10,12]],"date-time":"2026-10-12T17:23:01Z","timestamp":1791825781000},"page":"e0000710","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1371\/journal.pmen.corrections_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Prevalence
