摘要：

The need to address the role of employment in the psychosocial adjustment of persons with HIV/AIDS has been consistently recognized in the clinical care and research literature. In this study, 200 volunteer HIV/AIDS patients completed questionnaires assessing medical and vocational histories, quality of life, and psychological functioning. Employed and unemployed participants did not significantly differ in terms of gender, education level, ethnicity, prevalence of diagnosed psychiatric and substance use disorders, or overall level of psychological functioning. However with HIV illness severity statistically controlled, employed participants reported significantly higher overall quality of life.
