Universal access to Antiretroviral Treatment (ART) has transformed HIV/AIDS into a chronic disease and issues like social support and Quality of life (QOL) have emerged as important components of care. Perceived social support influences QOL in People Living with HIV (PLHIV), though this has not been studied well in India. PLHIV were assessed for Social Support using the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS) and QOL was assessed with the Medical Outcomes Study HIV Health Survey (MOS-HIV) questionnaire. The factors impacting social support and its effect of on QOL were analysed. Amongst the 109 study subjects, 62 (56.9%) were men, 47 (43.1%) were women, mean age was 35 ± 7.5 years, 85.3% had WHO stage 1 disease and 80 (73.4%) were receiving ART. Only 43.1% subjects perceived high overall social support. Social support (from family/friends/others) was associated positively with physical functioning (p = 0.001), social and cognitive functioning (p = 0.000) and significantly inversely associated with depression (p = 0.002). Higher perceived social support was seen to correlate with higher CD4 count (Peak, Nadir and Current; p < 0.05) and better adherence (p = 0.003). It is concluded that social support, including support from beyond family, have a significant impact on clinical endpoints and QOL in PLHIV
