[Quality of life in elderly patients living with HIV/AIDS].

Abstract:

:This study's objective was to evaluate quality of life in older adults living with HIV/AIDS and the associations with socio-demographic, economic, and clinical characteristics, using a cross-sectional design. Data were collected on demographics, disease history, and economic status according to the Brazilian Economic Classification Criterion and Targeted Quality of Life Instrument (HAT-QoL). A total of 201 elderly participated, with the following characteristics: males (63.7%), single or divorced (51.3%), economic classes C, D, or E (61.7%), and low schooling (53.7%). Nearly two-thirds (130, or 64.7%) had been infected by the sexual route. The following were significantly correlated with two or up to seven domains in the HAT-QoL: age, individual and family income, and time since diagnosis. Quality of life in elderly living with HIV/AIDS showed the lowest scores in the domains related to concern over disclosure of their diagnosis, sexual activity, and financial concerns. Age, income, and time since diagnosis were the variables that most accounted for altered quality of life.
