TL;DR
There is substantial morbidity associated with HIV disease in adults and the variability in health-related quality of life according to disease progression is relevant for health policy and allocation of resources, and merits the attention of clinicians who treat patients with HIV Disease.
Abstract
There is substantial morbidity associated with HIV disease in adults. The variability in health-related quality of life according to disease progression is relevant for health policy and allocation of resources, and merits the attention of clinicians who treat patients with HIV disease.
