A multi-dimensional assessment of quality of life among attendees of a West African HIV clinic and its use in tracking outcome

Conclusions The study observed varied degrees of impairment across specific domains of QOL. To ensure improved QOL, HIV care with relevant policies should target multidimensional aspects of health. Additionally, socio-economic problems like stigma with relationships issues and unemployment should be addressed by the government with institutions of human rights (such as right to equal opportunity, autonomy, privacy and health, safe working environment and information) for all PLWHA. Further research on QOL and tracking of HIV disease outcome with multi-dimensional approach are implied.
