While innovative therapies have helped turn HIV from a life-threatening disease into a long-lasting, chronic disease, people living with HIV are living longer but not necessarily living well. It is time to change the paradigm, beyond viral surpression, to ensure that people living with HIV can fully enjoy health-related quality of life (HRQoL). This virtual roundtable aimed to offer concrete policy actions for policymakers to successfully improve HRQoL in France.
