Most of the patients scored at the higher ends of each quality of life dimension. However, Indian compared to Malay and Chinese, and females compared to males have lower rank in some QOL dimensions. Besides, lower scores in some quality oflife dimensions are associated with sudden difficulties in breathing, extreme fatigue, fracture and hyper pigmentation. The risk factors of experiencing side effects are Malay and Chinese race, and males. Few side effects are associated with lower QOL dimensions. Conclusion: Further studies should be conducted to employ larger study participant and to assess patient condition before starting the HAART regimen, to find higher association of the drugs and the side effects, impacts of side effects and quality ofli fe scores. 2009 Thesis https://ir.uitm.edu.my/id/eprint/105344/ https://ir.uitm.edu.my/id/eprint/105344/1/105344.PDF text en public degree Universiti Teknologi MARA (Kampus Puncak Alam) Faculty of Pharmacy Das, Jesmin Permala
