Correlates of quality of life in people living with HIV infection beyond viral load suppression in Africa: a scoping review
Key Points
Quality of life in people living with HIV is influenced by factors beyond viral load suppression, including social and economic conditions.
Important findings suggest that quality of life is significantly affected by environmental, social, and economic determinants.
Scoping review of existing literature highlights the need for comprehensive interventions that go beyond medical management.
Addressing these determinants may improve overall quality of life for individuals living with HIV in African contexts.
Abstract
Research is required to develop interventions that target medical management and address the social, economic and environmental determinants of QoL among people living with HIV in Africa.
