eHIV Review

PWH. People living with HIV. They’re growing older. And they’re experiencing the same illnesses of aging — CVD, kidney and liver diseases, cancers — as their HIV-seronegative counterparts.  

The question is: how should they be treated?  

Should the comorbidities of aging PWH be managed with the same agents and dosing regimens as people the same age who have not been fighting a chronic infective condition? How do the treatments that have increased PWH wellness and expected lifespans affect the safety and efficacy of the preferred comorbidity management options? What does the evidence-based data say? 

Join Dr. Maile Young Karris, Co-Director of the San Diego Center for AIDS Research Clinical Investigations Core, and an Associate Professor from the Department of Medicine at the University of California in San Diego, as we discuss strategies to mitigate the effects of comorbidities in older people living with HIV — in this issue of eHIV Review.
