Post-exposure prophylaxis for rape survivors.

From the repeated measures analyses, estimated marginal means showed significant group and time effects for overall quality of life (Fig. 1). Although there were no differences between new housing estate and site tenure residents with regard to quality of life (p > 0.05), both these groups had a better quality of life than informal housing residents (p < 0.05). This finding was not unexpected as previous research has shown that quality of life is very poor in the latter. In 2001, quality of life was significantly better than in 1999 (p < 0.01), but returned to similar levels to 1999 in 2003 (p > 0.05). It is possible that changes in living circumstances in 2001 were responsible for this effect. A more likely explanation is provided by the classic study of the effects of fortune and misfortune on quality of life. The study found that lottery winners’ quality of life shot up, while that of accident victims decreased dramatically immediately after the event, only to return to previous levels at a later date.4
