How does HIV impact on non-AIDS events in the era of HAART?

Int J STD AIDS. 2009 Jan;20(1):1-3. doi: 10.1258/ijsa.2008.008302.

Abstract

Death rates from AIDS-related events in HIV-positive individuals have declined in the era of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART). It has also been shown that deaths from non-AIDS events have declined in this cohort since the advent of HAART. We review these data, as well as discussing some of the possible effects HAART might have on non-AIDS diagnoses and deaths in HIV-positive individuals with successfully treated HIV.
