Abstract
Introduction: Since the HIV was identified, more efficacious and safer treatments have been developed in order to ensure survival of people with the virus. The challenge to the health professionals is to improve the quality of life in relation to these patients’ health condition. Objective: To analyze the health-related quality of life in a sample of HIV patients from Buenos Aires (Argentina). Methods: It is a quantitative, cross.-sectional, analytical study conducted from January to March 2020. In total, 144 subjects took part in this study. Questionnaires SF-36 and Morisky-Green were applied. Results: Most of the sample consisted of male subjects, single, without children and with college education. The physical function evaluation reported the best values (92.19), while vitality showed the worse evaluation (61.42). The mental component was the most affected one. Female gender, low schooling, been older, having children and health complications were associated with a worse quality of life. Conclusions: It is quite important to implement actions intended to improve the treatment adherence among the patients and to encourage styles of life that favor their health. Likewise, health professional must approach these patients in a comprehensive way, considering the psychic, emotional, social and spiritual dimensions as a part of the healthcare. The quality of life must be taken as a follow-up indicator by the health professionals.
