Overview

Cross-sectional survey examines health-related quality of life factors for older persons with HIV, indicating significant social and clinical implications.

Key Points

  • Health-related quality of life showed significant correlation with age 60+ and educational attainment for older individuals on HIV therapy in Uganda.
  • Ordinal Logistic Regression found that advanced HIV disease and viral load greater than 200 copies/ml correlated with poorer health outcomes.
  • Demographic factors such as marital status and employment influenced various health-related quality of life domains among OPLHIV.
  • Multifaceted interventions targeting health education and support services are essential for improving the quality of life for older adults living with HIV.
