Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Quality of life
Time Frame: 24 MONTHS
A translation adapted and validated for Brazil of the HIV/AIDS Targeted Quality of Life questionnaire (HAT-QoL) developed by Holmes \& Shea, was used . The HAT-QoL present 34 questions divided in nine domains: Overall Function (OVEFUN), Life Satisfaction (LISA), Health Worries (HEAWOR), Financial Worries (FINWOR), Medication Concerns (MEDCON), HIV Mastery (HIVMAS), Disclosure Worries (DISWOR), Provider Trust (PROTRU) and Sexual Function (SEXFUN). The score ranges from 0 to 100. The responses have a five-point Likert scale: "all the time", "most of the time", "part of the time", "little time" and "never". In each domain, zero is the lowest score and 100 the best score possible. The higher the score, the lower the impact of HIV infection on the individuals' quality of life.
