The Functional Assessment of HIV Infection (FAHI) is HIV-specific tool. The FAHI was originally developed using the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy, which measures generic and disease-specific HRQOL for patients with such chronic diseases as cancer.

The FAHI has good psychometric properties and is available in 10 languages. Although it has not been used extensively, it has been used to demonstrate significant improvement in HRQOL following treatment of anemia with recombinant human erythropoietin (epoetin alfa) in HIV-infected patients.&nbsp;<ref>Abrams DI, Steinhart C, Frascino R.

Objective[edit | edit source]

The Functional Assessment of HIV Infection (FAHI) is a 47-item disease-specific instrument evaluating Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQL) in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected patients[1][2]. The FAHI is used for measuring Quality of life of People living with HIV.[3]

Intended Population[edit | edit source]

People living with HIV.

Method of Use[edit | edit source]

The FAHI evaluates physical well-being, functional and global well-being, emotional well-being/living with HIV, social well-being, and cognitive functioning. It yields a total score and individual subscale scores.

Reference[edit | edit source]

Evidence[edit | edit source]

The FAHI appears to be a reliable and valid measure for assessing quality of life in HIV-positive patients with concurrent drug and alcohol use disorders.[4]
