30. The quality of life among men have sex with men on ARV treatment in Hanoi
Main Article Content
Abstract
This study aimed to assess the quality of life and identify factors related to the quality of life among HIV-positive men who have sex with men (MSM) receiving antiretroviral therapy (ARV) at outpatient clinics in Hanoi in 2022. A total of 212 MSM undergoing ARV treatment were enrolled in the study. Quality of life was measured in six domains using the WHOQOL-HIV BREF tool. The average quality of life score was 13.79 ± 2.02, with the physical health domain having the highest average score at 14.40 ± 2.45 and the social relationships domain having the lowest average score at 12.93 ± 2.55. Negative factors such as anxiety, depression, stigma, unstable employment, and opportunistic infections significantly impacted the quality of life in HIV-positive MSM. This study highlight the specific domains of quality of life that may warrant targeted intervention to improve the overall well-being of this population.
