“…With the increase in the life expectancy of people living with HIV/AIDS, it becomes relevant to study the potential obstacles they face in order to maintain their quality of life (3) . However, it should be considered that health and quality of life are multidimensional concepts that can include both objective measures of disease severity, as well as the individuals' perception of their autonomy and subjectivity (4)(5) .
