本文报告了南非自由邦省参加公共部门抗逆转录病毒治疗方案的患者的生活质量。对横断面数据的统计分析显示，并不是获得治疗本身提高了那些主动接受抗逆转录病毒治疗者的生活质量。相反，与治疗、污名化程度、优质保健服务以及人们从保健部门内外获得支助和护理的能力相关的健康益处，与生活质量水平的改善和差异独立相关。
This paper reports on the quality of life of patients enrolled in the public sector antiretroviral treatment programme in the Free State province of South Africa. Statistical analysis of cross-sectional data reveals that it is not access to treatment per se that enhances the quality of life of those who have come forward for ART. Rather, it is the health benefits associated with treatment, levels of stigmatisation, quality health care services, and the ability of persons to access support and care, both from within and outside the health care sector, that are independently associated with improvements in and differences in levels of quality of life.
