Despite the increasing attention to caregivers of HIV patients, no previous study has systematically investigated the effects of the relationship quality between an HIV patient and their caregiver. The present study assessed 176 dyads consisting of an HIV-infected patient and their self-identified 'caregiver'. Relationship quality was measured by the Family Assessment Device (FAD). Dependent measures included the Beck Depression Inventory, SF-36 Physical Functioning Scale, Caregiver Strain Index and 4-day HIV treatment adherence. A substantial proportion of HIV patient-caregiver dyads reported difficulties in their relationships (17-66% depending upon FAD scale). The level of relationship difficulties was not strongly related to the type of patient-caregiver relationship. However, the quality of the HIV patient-caregiver relationship was significantly associated (p<0.05) with caregiver depression and burden as well as HIV patient depression, physical functioning and HIV medication adherence, even when the potential effects of length of HIV infection and social support were controlled. These results suggest that relationship quality is impaired in many patient-caregiver dyads and is uniquely associated with levels of depression, caregiver burden and treatment adherence
