Methods & Materials: For the purpose of this cross-sectional study, a standard “ forward- backward” translation and cognitive debriefing were initially applied. Subsequently, 150 people living with HIV/AIDS visitingTertiary Referral Consultation Center for clients with risky behaviors in Tehran completed the Persian version of the questionnaire. Validity was assessed using Known Group Comparison through ANOVA test. Internal reliability was measured by Cronbach 's alpha and Split-Half coefficients. R e s u lt s : WHOQOL-HIV BREF was capable to discriminate between two groups who were different in their QOL (P< 0.05). Internal consistency analysis was satisfactory for domains (Cronbach’s alpha =0.64- 0.85), and whole the instrument (Cronbach's alpha=0.93).
