“…15 In this sense, in recent years, interest in the development of research to assess the QoL of individuals with HIV/AIDS, based on human needs, has been increasing, since PLHA are affected by the chronic nature of the disease, extending from the clinical-laboratory results to the sociocultural and bioethical dimensions. 16 The identification of the PLHA factors that can be modified is fundamental for health decision making, for the implementation of care strategies and for the optimization of the use of resources from the health services, with the aim of improving the well-being of these people. 17 Currently, PLHA's greatest concern is to increase or improve QoL, not related only to the efficacy of life-prolonging treatments, 18 but also in relation to personal and social spheres, which promote social isolation and low self-esteem, hampering the interpersonal relationships.…”
