Abstract:

The objective of this study was to evaluate the quality of life of elderly people living with HIV in Recife-PE. Descriptive, quantitative cross-sectional study with convenience and random sample composed of 241 subjects. The HIV / AIDS Target Quality of Life (HAT-Qol) instrument was applied. Quality of life was compromised in the areas of secrecy (51, 89), sexual function (63) and financial concerns (64, 74). The best scores were concerns about medication (87, 91), health concerns (86, 80), and HIV acceptance (82, 78). Men presented scores for a better quality of life in all domains. It is concluded that among the factors associated with better quality of life in men are schooling, financial situation, self-perception and HIV-related stigma, which seems to be stronger in relation to women.
