Quality of Life and Aging with HIV in Rural Uganda
Description: ! PROJECT NARRATIVE The provision of life-saving antiretroviral therapy in sub-Saharan Africa has transformed HIV for millions from a terminal condition to a chronic disease. To sustain the considerable investments made by the US government and in-country partners, the next generation of HIV care must also focus on addressing the non-AIDS health priorities and quality of life for the 25 million people living with HIV in sub-Saharan Africa. The current project directly addresses this goal by proposing to identify 1) the determinants of quality of life for older people living with HIV in rural sub-Saharan Africa and 2) intervention targets to improve quality of life in this population. !
