Abstract

Introduction: Health-related Quality of life (HRQoL) is recognized as a significant medical outcome measure for persons living with HIV (PLWH). Identification of potentially modifiable determinants of HRQoL could help target people in need of additional health care and social services in order to improve their HRQoL. The main objective of this study was to determine the factors with the strongest impact on HRQoL in PLWH.
