Cover Story: Increasing quality of life (QoL) is both an end in itself and a means to optimize the impact of treatment in HIV-infected persons. Possibly due to cultural and social influences, the predictors of QoL vary across studies, highlighting the importance of studying specific populations. We examined the sociodemographic (age, sex, and schooling, or number of years at school) and psychosocial correlates (meaning in life, social support, and positive and negative affects) of QoL in HIV-infected persons living in Mozambique, a country with a high prevalence of HIV but also with well-structured strategies to fight the disease. Schooling was both directly and indirectly related with QoL—in the latter case, it was mediated by meaning in life, positive affect, and social support. Our findings suggest that investments in education may be highly rewarding to Mozambicans living with HIV. View this paper
