Health-related quality of life in French people living with HIV in 2003: results from the national ANRS-EN12-VESPA Study

Abstract

The role of disclosure and discrimination is determinant in HRQL, and the various cultural and psychological dimensions require further research. The presence of other infections or co-morbidities requires a comprehensive care system including medical staff and social worker teams. HIV should increasingly be regarded as a chronic disease characterized by different pathological conditions requiring a comprehensive and multidisciplinary approach.
