Abstract: People living with HIV (PLWH) are living longer and are becoming increasingly susceptible to multi-morbidity resulting in disability. Physiotherapy is an important component in the care of PLWH, increasing functional capacity and quality of life. However, few PLWH access physiotherapy services due to a lack of specialised services, relapses in medical conditions and financial barriers. This study aimed to gather feedback from PLWH in a tertiary infection centre in Ireland attending out-patient physiotherapy on their experiences of physiotherapy. Eleven PLWH completed a semi-structured feedback survey focusing on their expectations and experiences of physiotherapy. Participants reported an overall positive experience of physiotherapy especially in terms of improving movement, confidence, physical activity level and sense of control. In addition, participants highlighted the importance of a physiotherapist with specialist knowledge of HIV. Barriers to participation in physiotherapy included potential relapses in other medical conditions, lack of time due to work and lack of flexibility or availability of physiotherapy appointments. This study highlights the important role of physiotherapy in the care of PLWH, several potential barriers to participation in physiotherapy for PLWH and the importance of the participation of PLWH in the co-design of services.
