Nair SN et al. – About 66.7% (28/42) in–patients and 24.5% (24/98) out–patients complained of pain. Of the 52 patients who reported pain, 32% (14/52) reported neuropathic pain and 68% (38/52) reported noci–ceptive pain. Headache was most common followed by pain in the soles of feet and low back. Only 26.9% (17/52) received any form of analgesic. Pain severity significantly affects the quality of life. Pain is a common and debilitating symptom of HIV/AIDS. It is however, under–estimated and under treated.
