“…According to Costa et al [14], the relationship that is established between health professionals and patients with AIDS is greatly important to the adhesion treatment process, becoming a therapeutic tool, through a good interrelation, empathy, communication and information transmission to the patient. The domain confidence in the health professional was the domain with the highest score found, showing that patients attended in the health unit put their confidence in the professionals that accompany them, and this is not a concern for them; as in the study of Sousa et al [5] that among the nine domains this had the highest score; and in Galvão et al [10] research, low scores in the professional confidence domain were identified.…”

“…Biopsychosocial factors, in the case of women with AIDS, can be listed in the impact on the emotional, social, cultural and sexual life. Sousa et al [5] bring that some patients living with AIDS have negative changes in quality of life because of prejudice and relationship with death, both built at the beginning of the epidemic and present today in the population imagination. To assess the quality of life of women living with AIDS, the analysis of sociodemographic profile is essential, as the interactions and relationships built by the infected women influence beneficially or not.…”

“…The nal dimension score was a linear scale, where the mean score of items within each domain was used to calculate the domain scores and subsequently transformed to a 0 to 100 scale by using the questionnaire scoring guide, where 0 is the worst possible health state and 100 is the best possible health state [24]. Finally, the overall reported HRQoL of the patients were categorized based on the mean scores as "good health state > 75", "moderate health state; 50-74 " and "low health state < 50 " [19,27]. For the MGL scale, patients who reported 4 out of four categorized as "Good adherence" while one to three categorized as "Poor adherence".…”

“…Other studies have also revealed that disease stage, viral loads, low CD4 count, and non-adherence to ART were important factors associated with poorer HRQoL [9,[16][17][18]. Furthermore, Sousa et al [19] reported that better HAT-QoL domain such as nancial concern, concern about health, issues relating to medication, general activity, sexual activity, and satisfaction with life was associated with better living conditions. Therefore, the evidence illustrates that besides disease and HAART regimens, sociodemographic and clinical characteristics had a detrimental effect on the patients' HRQoL.…”
