Introduction[edit | edit source]

Since the introduction of antiretroviral treatment (ART), HIV related mortality has reduced significantly, and more people are now living with. Morbidity measures have therefore become more important in order to fully understand and measure the impact of HIV on the well-being of those affected by it.

Patient-reported outcomes measures (PROMs) are increasingly being used to measure and monitor quality of life and quality of care, with the aim of promoting patient-centred care [1]. PROMs

PROMs can help facilitate the transition from disease-focused HIV care programmes, to programmes that look beyond disease parameters to focus on well-being and personalised care[1].

PROMs are very useful to assess the various interconnected dimensions that affect the well-being of people living with HIV (PLWH). These dimensions include[1]:

  • Physical factors
  • Psychological factors
  • Social factors
  • Spiritual factors
  • Socio-economic factors
