Trajectories of health-related quality of life among people with HIV within five years of diagnosis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Evidence on changes in health-related quality of life (HRQoL) beyond the first year after HIV diagnosis remains limited. This study examined both the overall changes and distinct trajectories of HRQoL in people newly diagnosed with HIV over a five-year period.

Methods

Individuals newly diagnosed with HIV were consecutively recruited from the Center for Disease Control and Prevention in Hunan Province, China. Participants completed self-administered questionnaires at the time of diagnosis and at one- and five- year post-diagnosis. HRQoL was assessed using the Medical Outcomes Study HIV Survey. Depression, anxiety, stress, and social support were measured using the 9-item Patient Health Questionnaire, the 7-item Generalized Anxiety Disorder Questionnaire, the HIV/AI
