Change in quality of lifeThrough study completion, an average of 1 year

Measured using the PozQoL. PozQoL is a short 13-question scale assessing quality of life among people living with HIV. The scale includes four subscales: health concerns, psychological, social and functional.

Change in cognitive functionThrough study completion, an average of 1 year

Measured using the Functional Assessment of HIV Infection (FAHI Cognition). The FAHI Cognition subscale will be used to create a standardized score to assess outcome.

Cognitive function at baselineBaseline

Measured using the Functional Assessment of HIV Infection (FAHI). The FAHI Cognition subscale will be used to create a standardized score to assess outcome.

Change in social well-beingThrough study completion, an average of 1 year

Measured using the Functional Assessment of HIV Infection (FAHI). The FAHI Social Well-being subscale will be used to create a standardized score to assess outcome.

Social well-being at baselineBaseline

Change in depressionThrough study completion, an average of 1 year

Measured using the Patient Health Questionnaire - 4 (PHQ-4). PHQ-4 is a brief self-report questionnaire that consists of a 2-item depression scale (PHQ-2) and a 2-item anxiety scale (GAD-2).

Anxiety at baselineBaseline

Measured using the Patient Health Questionnaire - 4 (PHQ-4). PHQ-4 is a brief self-report questionnaire that consists of a 2-item depression scale (PHQ-2) and a 2-item anxiety scale (GAD-2).

Alcohol use at baselineBaseline

Measured using the Alcohol Use Disorder Identification Test (AUDIT-C). The AUDIT-C is a 3-item screening survey that can help identify persons who are hazardous drinkers or have active alcohol use disorders (including alcohol abuse or dependence).

Lipodystrophy at baselineBaseline

Measured using the Assessment of Body Change and Distress (ABCD). The ABCD assesses subjective report of bodily changes and body dissatisfaction, and it includes 20 items on the impact of bodily changes on psychosocial variables, quality of life, and HIV self-care behaviors.

Resilience at baselineBaseline

Measured using the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC 2). The CD-RISC contains two items and was developed as a measure of "bounce-back" and adaptability.

Interpersonal support at baselineBaseline

Measured using the Interpersonal Support Evaluation Checklist - 6 (ISEL-6). ISEL-6 is derived from the long form of the ISEL and contains 6 items that assess the perceived availability of social support.

Frailty at baselineBaseline

Measured using the Frailty Index Elders (FIFE). FIFE is a 10-item instrument with scores ranging from 0-10. A score of 0 indicates no frailty; a score of 1-3 indicates frailty risk; and a score of 4 or greater indicates frailty.

Depression at baselineBaseline

Measured using the Patient Health Questionnaire - 4 (PHQ-4). PHQ-4 is a brief self-report questionnaire that consists of a 2-item depression scale (PHQ-2) and a 2-item anxiety scale (GAD-2).
