AB  - People living with HIV (PLHIV) report lower health-related quality-of-life (HRQoL) than HIV-negative people. HIV stigma may contribute to this. We explored the association between HIV stigma and HRQoL among PLHIV. We used cross-sectional data from 3,991 randomly selected PLHIV who were surveyed in 2017-2018 for HPTN 071 (PopART), a cluster randomised trial in Zambia and South Africa. Participants were 18-44 years, had laboratory-confirmed HIV infection, and knew their status. HRQoL was measured using the EuroQol-5-dimensions-5-levels (EQ-5D-5L) questionnaire. Stigma outcomes included: internalised stigma, stigma experienced in the community, and stigma experienced in healthcare settings. Associations were examined using logistic regression. Participants who had experienced community stigma (n=693/3991) had higher odds of reporting problems in at least one HRQoL domain, compared to those who had not (adjusted odds ratio, aOR: 1.51, 95% confidence interval, 95% Cl: 1.16-1.98, p=0.002). Having experienced internalised stigma was also associated with reporting problems in at least one HRQoL domain (n=552/3991, aOR: 1.98, 95% CI: 1.54-2.54, p<0.001). However, having experienced stigma in a healthcare setting was less common (n=158/3991) and not associated with HRQoL (aOR: 1.04, 95% CI: 0.68-1.58, p=0.850). A stronger focus on interventions for internalised stigma and stigma experienced in the community is required.
