dc.description.abstract | Access to antiretroviral therapy (ART) for HIV positive patients has brought
hope and a chance to a healthier longer life with improved quality of life (QoL). In this study we
explored the difference in health related quality of life (HRQoL) between participants eligible for
ART and those not yet eligible for ART as per the 2015 South African HIV treatment guidelines.
We also considered the impact of ART access on HRQoL and the effect of employment status and
education level. The study was conducted at one tertiary hospital and two primary health care
facilities in Johannesburg, South Africa. | en_US |
