Abstract:
Objective :To investigate the quality of life among people living with HIV/AIDS in Hangzhou City and analyze the influencing factors, so as to provide insights into the control of AIDS.
Methods :From 1 January 2014 to 30 June 2018, the demographic characteristics, medical expenditures and disease status were collected from HIV/AIDS patients living in Hangzhou City, and the quality of life was assessed using the simplified Chinese version of Medical Outcomes Study-HIV Health Survey ( MOS-HIV ). Factors affecting the quality of life were identified among HIV/AIDS patients using multivariable linear regression analysis.
Results :A total of 2 808 HIV/AIDS patients were surveyed, including 1 684 cases with HIV infections and 1 124 cases with AIDS. The participants included 2 510 men ( 89.39% ) and 298 women ( 10.61% ), and were predominantly at ages of 25 to 39 years ( 1 531 cases, 54.52% ). The physical and mental health scores were 53.87±6.96 and 46.03±9.09, respectively. Multivariable linear regression analysis identified age, average monthly income, self-paid medical expenses during the past year, and the latest CD4+T cell count as factors affecting physical and mental health ( P<0.05 ).
Conclusions :The quality of life is low among people living with HIV/AIDS in Hangzhou City, and is associated with age, income, medical expenditures and CD4+T cell count.
