Abstract

People living with HIV (PLHIV) continue to face challenges that extend beyond clinical management, particularly in contexts where healthcare access is limited and stigma remains high. This study assessed the quality of life (QoL) of PLHIV residing in selected barangays of Digos City, Philippines, and examined the influence of demographic factors on their perceived well-being. Using a descriptive-correlational design, data were collected from 76 respondents through the WHOQOL-HIV BREF questionnaire covering four domains: physical health, psychological well-being, social relationships, and environment. Statistical tools included frequency, percentage, weighted mean, t-test, and ANOVA. Results showed that the environment domain had the highest mean score (3.81), while the psychological domain scored lowest (3.71). Significant differences in QoL were found based on employment status (p = 0.023) and age group (p = 0.031), but not by sex, education, or marital status. Based on these findings, a comprehensive health teaching program—“BUHAY NA BUO†—was developed to enhance psychological wellness, physical health, economic empowerment, and age-specific care strategies. The study recommends integrating livelihood support and mental health interventions into local HIV programs to holistically improve PLHIV well-being.
