Patients were recruited by a random sampling technique and a P-value < 0.05 was set as statistically significant. Th main outcome measure was HRQoL.Results: The majority of study participants were female (56.8%). More than half (53%) of the participants had low overall HRQoL. Those who were married and who earned < 1500 ETB were less likely to experience low overall HRQoL than single people (AOR: 4.41, P=0.024) and those who earned more (AOR: 4.27, P=0.000), respectively. Those with current illness and who had no HIV-positive family members were more likely to experience lower overall quality of life than those with no current illness (AOR: 32.29, P=0.000) and with one HIV-positive family member (AOR: 4.03, P=0.003), respectively. Those with recent WHO clinical stage I were less likely to experience a lower overall quality of life than those with stage II (AOR: 0.07, P=0.000).Conclusion: Current illness, recent WHO stage and having no HIV-positive family members were found to be strongly associated with lower quality of life in HIV-positive patients on antiretroviral therapy.Keywords: health-related quality of life, HIV-positive patients, highly active antiretroviral therapy, Ambo General Hospital, WHO stage IVDinsa Ayeno HMegersa Atomsa KMelesie Taye GDove Medical Pressarticlehealth related quality of lifehiv positive patientshighly active antiretroviral therapyambo general hospitalwho stage ivImmunologic diseases.
