Fatigue, depression, and quality of life in HIV-positive men.
1. Fatigue is a real symptom of HIV infection, and up to two thirds of clients with HIV report symptoms of depression. 2. Depression and fatigue, besides being closely related in HIV cases, have an adverse effect on quality of life. 3. Treating depression and underlying causes of fatigue will improve the quality of life for patients with HIV, who now have an extended life span.
