Currently available medications may not be sufficient for lifelong treatment of HIV

摘要

Purpose of the studyCombination antiretroviral therapy (cART) has greatly improved the life expectancy of people living with HIV (PLHIV). A series of cohort studies have predicted near-to-normal life expectancies for PLHIV receiving cART but have not considered the impact of multi-class resistance on long-term survival. Our study aims to project the future life expectancy of PLHIV in a resource-rich setting in the context of the currently available antiretroviral treatments.
