초록
The life expectancy of HIV-infected subjects has improved dramatically since the introduction of highly-active antiretroviral therapy (HAART). Considering that patients with HIV infection are living longer, treatment plans should include those for the accompanying co-morbidities such as cardiovascular diseases, metabolic syndrome, malignancy, etc. This review discusses the impact of HAART on the epidemiology of survival and co-morbidities (malignancy and cardiovascular diseases) among HIV-infected subjects.
