The aim of this study was to assess whether the lives of Australian people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA) have improved to the extent hoped for following the introduction of new antiretroviral (ARV) drugs for HIV. In 1997, 925 Australian PLWHA completed the first national survey of the social impacts of HIV/AIDS. In 1999, 924 Australian PLWHA were recruited for a repeat of the survey. Study participants completed an anonymous self-administered questionnaire. The data revealed that although new ARV drugs have improved the clinical profiles of many PLWHA, there have not been corresponding improvements in the physical well-being, levels of employment, or financial circumstances of many PLWHA. Nevertheless, PLWHA express favourable attitudes toward ARV drugs. Australian PLWHA have a complex relationship with their ARV medication that is likely to change over time as their HIV disease progresses and new treatments become available.

Background: Patient satisfaction surveys have gained great attention as meaningful parameters for evaluating quality improvement in healthcare organizations. At Kibuye referral hospital, healthcare utilization and health care services for people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA) has been low, as attested by poor adherence to medication and weakening of patients due the disease progression. The main objective of this study was to assess healthcare services satisfaction and associated factors among people living with HIV/AIDS Kibuye referral hospital, Rwanda. Methods: An institutional-based cross-sectional design was used to select 277 study participants who were interviewed by use of a structured questionnaire, and the data analyzed quantitatively. Two focus group discussions (FGDs) were performed, after which the interviews were transcribed in verbatim and analyzed thematically.Results: The overall level of PLWHA satisfaction was 95.0%. In multivariate analysis, social class and age were found to be the main predictors of PLWHA satisfaction (AOR=10.218, 95% CI=1.39, 74.88, p=0.002) and (AOR=0.39, CI=0.121 to 1.186, p=0.005), respectively. Qualitative study outcome showed that health care service delivery at Kibuye referral hospital is measured by a number of factors, including timeliness of health care service delivery, meeting needs of clients and paying attention in provision of health care services.Conclusions: The level of patient satisfaction was found to be high. When individual was of high-class status in the society, and were above 20 years of age, his or her satisfaction increased. The study recommends that PLWAs are treated equally so as to improve service delivery, particularly among people living HIV/AIDS.
