Human Immunodeficiency Virus and Aging in the Era of Effective Antiretroviral Therapy.

Van Epps P, Kalayjian RC
Persons living with HIV (PLWH) have accentuated risks for age-associated comorbidities. Compared to the general population, PLWH have a 2-fold higher risk of cardiovascular disease, a 3-fold increased risk of fracture, and a risk of kidney disease that is comparable to that in diabetes. Some comorbidities may present at younger ages than among the general population, suggesting the possibility of accelerated aging with HIV infection.
