Health-related quality of life among people living with HIV/AIDS in Togo: individuals and contextual effects

Résumé

Objective The objective of this study is to assess the quality of life and to identify factors associated with good global quality of life among people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA) in Togo. Results In total, 880 PLWHA with mean age (standard deviation) of 39.6 (10.1) years, were interviewed. Most of them (78.4%) were female. The global score of quality of life was ranged from 42.6 to 112, with a mean (standard deviation) estimated at 86.3 ± (13.3). More than the three-quarters (76.2%) of the participants had a good global quality of life. In multivariate analysis, secondary education level or higher (adjusted odds ratio = 1.78, 95% confident interval (CI) [1.10–2.85]), living in Kara health region (adjusted odds ratio = 4.39, 95% CI [2.94–6.57]), being on antiretroviral therapy (adjusted odds ratio = 6.99, 95% CI [4.11–11.9]) and HIV sero-status disclosure (adjusted odds ratio = 1.83, 95% CI [1.28–2.61]) were associated with a better overall quality of life (score ≥ 77.3). Keywords: Quality of life, PLWHA, Togo
