PROQoL-SQoL consists of four dimensions: positive sexual perception Psp , stigma and social distress Sti , soft sexual practices Sof , sexual practices with a partner Sp , all of which were scored from 0 to and considered as main outcomes, lower scores mean better sexual quality of life. Linear mixed effects models were used to evaluate the association with sociodemographic and psychosocial factors.

Besides, cocaine use was associated with higher scores of Sof. Conclusion: This study highlighted strong relationship between the quality of health care, and psychoactive substance use except cocaine and the sexual quality of life in WHIV and WHCV in these five countries.
