Closing the gap: increases in life expectancy among treated HIV-positive individuals in the United States and Canada.
The researchers estimated changes in life expectancy among HIV-positive adults on antiretroviral therapy (ART) from 2000–2007 in the U.S. and Canada. They concluded that a 20-year-old HIV-positive adult on ART in the U.S. or Canada is expected to live into their early 70s, a life expectancy approaching that of the general population. Differences by sex, race, HIV transmission risk group, and CD4 count remain.
