We examined the relationship between structural barriers to antiretroviral therapy and quality of life among 291 antiretroviral therapy users in South Africa. We found significant relationships between structural barriers to clinical attendance and pill taking and various dimensions of quality of life. Psychological distress was not found to be a mediator between structural barriers to clinic attendance and indicators of health-related quality of life, although it was a potential mediator between structural barriers to pill taking and some dimensions of quality of life. Psychological distress partially mediated the relationship between structural barriers to pill taking and physical well-being and between structural barriers to pill taking and emotional well-being
