title: [Socio-economic impact of one decade of ARV therapy for people living with HIV in Senegal].
abstract: A retrospective biographical survey was conducted based on a patient sample whose median ARV treatment duration was nine years (within the framework of ANRS Cohort 1215 in Dakar) in order to document the long-term socio-economic outcomes for PLHIV. The study shows that, overall, socio-economic indicators did not significantly deteriorate since treatment initiation. The patients' socioeconomic profile-defined by their type of employment and wages, by gender-is identical to that of the general population. Medical care through ARV therapy has helped limit the disease's negative social impact. However, the economic insecurity experienced by these patients, comparable to that of the general population, is a threat to their medical care over the long term.
