This meant that it had a good validation. Correlation between questionnaire domain WHOQOL-HIV BREF and SF-36 questionnaire domain obtained 6 significant domains that shown strong correlation coefficient (r = 0.60 to 0.79; p <0.005). Reliability of the questionnaire was assessed by intraclass correlation coefficient of each domain, which was range from 0.401 to 0.484 with Cronbach Alpha 0.513 to 0.798 . Conclusions.
