Abstract
Infectious diseases constitute a global burden that still affects people. Moroccan people living with HIV face several issues regarding social, economic, and mental status. The present study was designed to interview a total of 112 participants living with HIV by distributing a questionnaire to collect different information about personal information, psychological problems, socio-economic issues and the impact of HIV on their normal lifestyle. The analysis of the results revealed that women represent the highest proportion of people living with HIV (72.32%). 41.97% of people with HIV were married. A significant correlation was obtained between psychological problems and age, living area, and school level (p<0.05). Furthermore, the youngest people are more exposed to different psychological issues such as insomnia, anxiety and malaise. Importantly, the majority of participants declared that HIV infection does not completely affect the study’s pursuit and/or detachment from work. These findings underline the need for crucial social interventions to prevent discrimination in order to ameliorate the social environment and quality of life of people living with HIV in Morocco.
