TL;DR
The pilot PROQOL-HIV instrument captures a wide range of physical, mental, and social issues to their condition, many of which were not measured by existing HIV-HRQL instruments, and is sensitive to sociocultural context, disease stage, and HAART.
Abstract
HIV patients across 11 countries attributed a wide range of physical, mental, and social issues to their condition, many of which were not measured by existing HIV-HRQL instruments. The pilot PROQOL-HIV instrument captures these issues, is sensitive to sociocultural context, disease stage, and HAART.
