Furthermore, high vulnerability is closely linked to a lower quality of life. It is essential to address the determinants that influence quality of life within this population in order to enhance health outcomes and inform the development of evidence-based care protocols.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec id=\"sec002\">\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>An observational, cross-sectional study was conducted from 2020 to 2022 to assess the quality of life of Mexican postpartum women living with HIV (n\u2009=\u200975). The WHOQoL-HIV-Bref instrument was used. Quality of life results were analysed statistically in relation to sociodemographic and clinical factors to evaluate their associations and their predictive power through multinomial logistic regression analysis.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec id=\"sec003\">\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Nearly half of postpartum WLWH experienced a lower quality of life (49%). Psychological health, Environment, Spirituality, religion and personal beliefs domains scores were below the median. There were multiple associations with socio-demographic and clinical factors. Highlights the use of ART during pregnancy and postpartum, HIV symptoms, sexual behavior, marital and educational status, mainly. Physical health, Independence level, and Spirituality, religion and personal beliefs domains were identified as potential predictors of a perception of high quality of life of this population.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec id=\"sec004\">\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>There are clinical and socio-demographic factors that influence the perception of quality of life in Mexican women living with HIV during postpartum. It is important to identify and mitigate these factors for the well-being of these women and their children. Further research is needed to evaluate the impact of interventions on Physical health, Independence level, and Spirituality, religion and personal beliefs domains to improve perception of high quality of life in WLWH. These findings ultimately underscore the need to integrate quality of life assessment as the fourth \u201895\u2019 target in World Health Organization strategies for people living with
