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][3]. 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.
